Smugglers use "lay ups" to dump their trash and rest so they can survive the gruelling trek through the Arizona desert of some 90 miles from the border to Interstate-8 where they summon cartel drivers to pick up narcotic loads. This lay up is positioned just before the final leg, where smugglers lighten their loads of backpacks, water bottles, shoes and toilet paper. Smugglers typically use bleach bottles purchased in Mexico for drinking water canteens, because they're black and lessen the chance of detection.

Poyet would like to return to Leeds United

Gus Poyet, at Elland Road on Saturday.

Gus Poyet, at Elland Road on Saturday.

Have your say

BRIGHTON boss Gus Poyet has admitted he would like to return to Leeds United as manager - but maybe not at this time.

While not completely ruling himself out of the running to take over from Simon Grayson the Uruguayan does not believe the time is right to step into the Elland Road hot seat.

After plotting a 2-1 victory for the south coast club against United on Saturday the former Leeds assistant manager said he took no extra pleasure from beating his former employers and he still had a soft spot for the Leeds club.

Poyet said: “I don’t like to beat people I like. This place was spectacular for me. I grew up so much as a coach and learned so much.

“When you see the stand behind the goal it’s unique.

“I would love in the future to manage Leeds. I would really like to come back.

“But I would say it’s very difficult. I would say to you there is no chance.

“It’s not like I’m saying I’m not interested (in the manager’s job). Probably the timing is not right. To anyone who wants me back, I’m sorry.

“I don’t try to think too much about it. If you think this job will happen, that one will happen, maybe I’ve got a chance, you’re thinking about going to five, six, seven different places.

“Leeds is a special one for me but I prefer to wait. If it is coming then it’s a problem because you need to think about it.

“But I’m lucky at the moment because I’m at a place where I’ve got everything I want. It’s a good time to be at Brighton and I’ve got a long-term contract.

“I prefer to relax and do my job. Whatever comes, we’ll talk when it comes.”

Willstrop beaten in Canary Wharf semi-finals

Pontefract Squash Club's James Willstrop. PICTURE: JOHN CLIFTON.

Have your say

PONTEFRACT squash star James Willstrop lost in the semi-finals of the ISS Canary Wharf Classic at the spectacular East Wintergarden.

The tournament brought to a close what has been an arduous seven months for the world’s leading players.

Willstrop won the inaugural event in 2004 and he has won it twice subsequently but in urgent need of a rest he went out this time in the semi-finals to world number seven Peter Barker.

The pair fought out the final of the world under 19 final in 2002 and met many times as juniors. This was their 13th meeting on the world tour and it was Barker’s first ever win so it was a notable occasion for him.

Willstrop beat promising youngster Charles Sharpes 3-0 and Joey Barrington 3-0 to reach the semi-finals and despite losing to Barker played well in a 77 minute match of high quality.

Willstrop was in control for much of the time but unable to impose himself.

He now has a two month rest and will resume training in June for the Australian Open in August.

During the rest period he will be undertaking a charity bike ride on behalf of the children’s charity Candlelight.

Pontefract Courtcraft, the club’s National League team, will play its final match of the season at Duffield on the back of a four match winning sequence without Willstrop and Saurav Ghosal but Simon Parke and Lee Beachill are both available.

In the National Club championships, Pontefract’s women’s team progressed by beating Edgbaston Priory 5-0. The men’s team take on Hallamshire at Pontefract this week, hoping to emulate them.

Several Yorkshire League fixtures remain but a depleted Pontefract first team went down to strong Heaton side 5-0 in their final match.

Pontefract’s Vanessa Atkinson, who will be retiring from the world women’s tour at the end of the season after a career which saw her win the world championship and become world number one among many other successes, is playing in the Atwater Cup in Montreal. Seeded one she will face stern oppositon from New Zealand’s Commonwealth gold medalists Joelle King and Jackie Hawkes.

Hawkes lives in Leeds and often practises at Pontefract.

10 March 2009

With unprecedented access to his subject and sources, Landau has managed to make one of the most intriguing films ever about a would-be world leader.
cover art

Director: Saul Landau
Cast: Fidel Castro

US DVD: 24 Feb 2009

He remains a symbol of defiance and revolution in a world that’s (supposedly) moved on from his type of gung-ho, guerilla tactics. He’s a hero to some, a demagogue to others, and a thorn in the side of every US administration since Eisenhower.

For filmmaker Saul Landau, however, Fidel Castro is a man of many nuances. He’s a powerbroker connected to the people, a liberator looking beyond the basics of Communism to a larger, utopian ideal.

After dropping out of graduate school to experience the Cuban revolution first hand, Landau was let back into the country to chronicle the event’s 15 year anniversary. With unprecedented access to his subject and sources, he’s managed to make one of the most intriguing films ever about a would-be world leader.

Part portrait, part propaganda, Fidel! is filled with memorable images: Castro relaxing with pick-up game of baseball; the leader eating in a communal tent with his many military-styled advisers; a group of star struck villagers demanding the man come in for a cup of coffee; a group of school teachers swarming their beloved Fidel, proclaiming his vision for their underdeveloped nation.

With newsreel footage of the factual basis for Castro’s rise to power, and the opportunity to witness the country in all its growing pains glory, Landau’s film is a remarkable achievement. It will also definitely chafe those who feel that Castro is a cancer in Latin America, a man who’s mangled Marxism has led an entire people to poverty and almost virtual international isolation.

But this is Landau’s story and he’s sticking with it. As part of the delightful DVD package presented by Provocateur Pictures and Microcinema International, the director is on hand to give a thorough and quite rousing commentary track, and in it, he more or less sets up Castro as one of the key figures of the 20th Century. He points out that, as an idealist, he is one of the few revolutionaries who completely and totally fulfilled the promise of his take-over.

Castro wanted Cuba to be its own sovereign nation, unfettered by influence from America (and its corporate clout) and the historical harness of Spain. Landau makes it abundantly clear that Castro did indeed achieve his goals. And since the film finds the country prospering after the entire Bay of Pigs/Missile Crisis debacles of the earlier part of the decade, it appears that victory is sweet, indeed.

Taken as a simple statement of Castro circa 1969, Fidel! is a fine effort. It applies a cinéma vérite approach to the narrative, listening in on the leader and his inner circle as they discuss administrative philosophy, the order of power, and the current goals for the Cuban people. Education (and some would say, indoctrination) are the mandates of the day, with Landau visiting schools to show how the new regime guarantees the ability to learn for all.

A great deal of Fidel! focuses on the citizenry and its reaction to their enigmatic chief. Castro never panders. Instead, there is a genuineness about his promises that seems sincere, especially in light of today’s “say anything” political ploys.

But one can’t help feeling that a really rosy set of lens were used to manufacture this movie. Political prisoners are shown in a kind of photo-op phoniness that, while possibly true, seems unusually lenient for actual enemies of the state. They even sound sorry for being opposed to Castro.

Then we see some dissidents waiting to leave the country. They too seem less angry and more apologetic than we expect. Perhaps times have indeed changed. Maybe the rising tensions in South Florida over US policy toward Cuba and sour memories of the Mariel Boatlift of 1980 taint our opinion of the man and his manner. Whatever it is, there are indeed times when Fidel! feels forced, like jingoism instead of honest social sentiment.

Still, Landau deserves more than credit for compiling such an intimate look. Castro comes off as smart, savvy, creative, undaunted, and very, very passionate. His speeches combine the best kind of conversational persuasion, and his advisors stand as a loyal group of actual thinkers.

Some time is spent on absent Friend of the Revolution Ché Guevara, and it is clear that Castro still has uncomfortable feelings over the radical’s death (he died a year before this movie was made). Large landscape portraits of Ché are seen all around Cuba, and his name brings the kind of hushed reverence reserved for saints. Yet this section feels incomplete, as if Landau didn’t want to stray too far from the subject at hand (besides, Guevara is a massive subject to undertake).

As part of this exceptional DVD package, we get the aforementioned director’s commentary, and it may be hard for some Conservative, anti-Communist Republican types to hear. Landau is virtually in love with Fidel Castro, both as a man and as a symbol of American hubris. He points out the sordid CIA attempts to assassinate the leader, and mocks the presumption that Cuba wanted warmer relations with the Soviets.

He sets the record straight about some of the scenes, and even offers us a chance to see a short film he made in 1974, Fidel + Cuba. It’s an eye opener, as well. Along with an old interview that repeats some of the concepts from his commentary, and a look at his production diary, Landau is just as important a part of Fidel! as the iconic ideologue himself.

In 2008, it seems almost silly that the US maintains a staunch and sometimes confusing embargo on an island a mere 90 miles from its shores. Certainly there are reasons both politically and morally for such a stand (at least in the eyes of those harboring hatred for the man who dismantled the Batista regime) and history is never helped by only knowing one side of the story. In Fidel!, Landau does us the honorable service of seeing things from the everyday Cuban’s point of view.

This is not the story of the upper class or the rich. This is not the tale of the empowered or the embittered. It’s just a look at one man, his sense of national duty, and the foundation for holding onto his new found power. Five decades later, it remains a remarkable achievement - albeit a controversial and incomplete one.

DIY Camp Mug Candle

Hi all! Emily + Erick of Hello Home Shoppe here--we're so excited to share another DIY on Poppytalk! This time of year, we're looking forward to fall camping trips--huddled over a campfire with with a thermos of steaming mulled cider, wool blankets, and a good book, who says summer should have all the fun?

Inspired by our fall camping getaways, we fashioned up this Campfire-Scented Camp Mug Candle DIY so you can enjoy the nostalgic scent of a campfire all year round--no tent required!

You Will Need:

A camp mug--try a thrift store or outdoor shop
Candle wax--we like the soy variety
String (this will be your homemade wick)
Campfire fragrance oil

1.) Thread your string through the two holes of the button and make a knot. Pull taught and snip after measuring the height of your mug (cut an inch longer than you think you'll need).
2.) Melt a little bit of wax according to manufacturer's directions (we bought microwavable wax--it saves so much time). Dip the string and button into your wax to coat entirely. Once coated, lay it on a paper towel to dry a few minutes.
3.) Once dry, anchor your newly fashioned wick in the center of your mug--adhering the button to the mug with a little wax if need be. Wrap the excess wick around a pencil balanced on the lip of the mug.
4.) Melt the rest of your wax. Pour in a capful or two of fragrance oil and mix with hot wax. Pour the mixture into your camp mug and let dry a few hours.
5.) Once the wax is solidified, cut the wick.

Harry Potter Exhibition: Behind-the-Scenes Q&A

This month, Hogwarts comes to New York City. The Harry Potter Exhibition—a must for any fan of the series—displays props, sets and artifacts from the decade-long production of the films, and the traveling show is now at the Discovery Center in Times Square. Eddie Newquist, chief creative officer of the firm Global Entertainment Services, took Popular Mechanics behind the scenes and explained how to build a museum exhibit with props that are still being used in filming.

Most Popular

How did the idea for the exhibition come about?

Right after the first film 10 years ago, people started talking about the idea of seeing some of these costumes, props and creatures on display. At the time, Warner Bros. couldn't do that because they were going right into production of the second film, the third film, the fourth film and so on.

Then, about four years ago, we decided that we should start thinking about doing a Harry Potter exhibition together. Once we got the concept down, we then had to start going through 10 years of costumes and props. They filmed in Leavesden Studios, right outside London, and they had saved everything, because a lot of things were being rolled over from one film to the next. So that was challengingright up until the end of shooting the last film, we were shipping things back and forth to ensure we had some of the latest and greatest elements on display, but also to ensure that they had them on set when they needed them.

Most Popular

We started going through the artifactsand we do handle them as artifacts, with white gloves, because we want these [props] to last for the next hundred years. I think the film series has reached that Wizard of Oz treasure status, so we want to take care of every single thing. The only place in Leavesden that was large enough to lay everything out was the Great Hall. So we [brought] everything out there in between shooting, and tagged and inventoried everything.

Ten years' worth of props and costumes is a lot of stuff. How did you decide what to include?

We're fans, so we wanted things people would have an emotional connection to. We knew costumes were a big part of that. Harry's wand and glasses were critical, and his Marauder's Map. And there were a lot of little things placed within the exhibition that people get a kick out of, but they don't really get a chance to see on the screen. Like Gilderoy Lockhart's examsall of the questions are about him! It's hilarious when you read it, and you step back and you think [that the filmmakers] took the time to handwrite this to make sure it felt realistic. It was about making the films, and the world, that much richer.

There are some interactive elements in the exhibition, too, like sitting in Hagrid's giant chair, pulling up screaming baby Mandrakes and playing Quidditch.

Those were challenging for us. It took a number of months of trial and error to come up with Quaffles that felt like real Quaffles, that would be thrown like real Quaffles, that would move like real Quaffles, but could be handled and tossed by millions of people going through the exhibition. We used the original molds that were used to make the very first Quaffles, and we really worked with the filmmakers to ensure that they had all the right qualities but also were very durable.

We used the same molds and worked directly with Nick to create an exact replica of the Mandrakes. And we used the sound effects directly from the [film], so it feels like you're pulling up your own Mandrake.

So when you were bringing the props to the United States, how did you guys package them? How did they get here?

We ship them either by large containers overseas, or fly themit's all air-controlled, safe and secure. And then we literally travel the exhibition in about 16 semi trucks. They're all air-ride vehicles; we pay a lot of attention to making sure the temperature is appropriate. We have to watch the paper very carefully. If you were in the Great Hall [section] and you saw all the different designs for the Weasley candies, there is a lot of paper and hand-drawn [items]. We regularly work with the Warner Bros. archives[if there's a prop that's] fading a little bit, or we'd like to exchange this one for another one so it doesn't wear during the tour.

Which props did the crowds have the strongest reaction to?

Everybody's fascinated by the brooms. Pierre Bohanna, who made all the brooms throughout the whole film series, talked about using airplane metals and titanium within the brooms. People think of them as a prop the kids are carrying around, but in reality, they have to sit on them. They have to be mounted onto motion-control bases for green-screen shots and special-effects shots, so they have to be very thin and incredibly durable. Most of these kids weighed 80 pounds, 90 pounds [at the beginning]. Now they're all adults, so they're up over 120, 130 pounds, and you have to really make sure your brooms can withstand that.

There were some fun atmospheric tricks you used to bring visitors into the experience at Hogwarts.

We wanted to use the full arsenal of theatrics that our company regularly usesour team has more than nine patents that have been used at different theme park attractions. We wanted to bring the full arsenal of tools, if you will, to the exhibition. So we've got scent cannons, we've got hazers, we've got complete stereo sound-effect panning. When you go into Dark Forces, we're actually projecting Voldemort's voice across 30 feet of the exhibition, so he literally is whispering into your ear. We're using tricks of the trade from show control systems to lighting to video editing. Nothing is there to become so prominent it oversteps Harry Potter and Hogwarts. But I think they all add great enchantment to the overall guest experience.

 PoultryWorld - Fees for pollution permits criticised

News 301 views update:May 12, 2010

Fees for pollution permits criticised

A UK member of parliament has criticised the Government for charging already impoverished poultry farmers fees for permits under the nation's new pollution prevention laws.

From 1 November, the Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC) Regulations will require poultry and egg producing farm businesses in the UK to apply for PPC permits as part of the process of reducing pollution by good management techniques.
In a parliamentary motion, MP David Davies commented on â€œthe fragile economic state of the poultry industry following last spring's avian influenza incident, which is estimated to have cost the industry some Â£58 million.â€
â€œ[This] was not even partially recovered by the EU special market measures that would have been worth some Â£8 million, had the Government not declined to apply for them for the UK, whilst supporting such measures for poultry farmers in 14 other member states.â€
Davies said the application fee of Â£3,331, along with ongoing fees of more than Â£2,000 per year, would divert scarce resources from poultry businesses investing in measures to comply with the requirements of the PPC regulations.
He said these burdens come â€œat a time when [poultry farmers] are trying to recover sustainable financial and market positions.â€
Davies recommended an independent investigation into the basis of the Environment Agency's charging scheme for implementing the EU's Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control Directive, and its implications for the future of the poultry industry in the UK.
He called on the Government to waive, in the meantime, the introduction of charges for PPC permits in respect of poultry businesses for a period of three years.
Davies said the poultry industry has accepted the importance of the proposed controls, many of which are already good practice.
Earlier this week, industry bodies called on poultry farmers to lobby their MPs for a waiver of the permit fees.

A Fort Bragg man was in custody Tuesday, suspected of being the driver in a hit-and-run crash that killed a Fort Bragg bicycle rider, the CHP said.

CHP officers Monday afternoon arrested Isabel Gutierrezvillarreal, 41, on suspicion of felony hit-and-run causing death and vehicular manslaughter.

Rider Jacob Aaron Howard, 36, had been on a bike along Highway 1 the afternoon of July 12 when he was hit by a red pickup truck whose driver didn’t stop, the CHP said.

A witness called for help, describing the departing truck. Howard was found dead along the shoulder of the coast highway, south of Boice Lane.

Debris from the impact littering the area helped investigators know the truck had front end damage and a broken headlight.

On Monday, a member of the Mendocino County’s major crimes task force, who was investigating, spotted a 1988 Red Nissan pickup with similar damage. The truck was taken as evidence and investigators looked for the driver.

At about 3:45 p.m. officers arrested Gutierrezvillarreal. He was taken to the Mendocino County Jail.

Kids need advice earlier

Global Times – Metro Beijing - - TWOCENTS -

I think the “design your future” course should be taught earlier, like at junior or senior high school ( Designing your future, February 28).

For many Chinese students, the national college entrance examination ( gaokao) is the key to changing their fate, especially for those who grow up in underdeveloped small cities or villages.

Thanks to the gaokao more than 10 years ago, I achieved my dream of walking out of my hometown to study and live in one of China’s first-tier cities. But I have to say, if I had a course that taught me how to design my future early in school, I could have encountered fewer struggles at some crucial moments in my life.

I still remember how confused I was when I had to choose my university major. I held my gaokao score sheet tightly in my hand and read all the majors listed in the reference book that the school prepared for students, but I just had no idea which one to choose.

Before going to school, my knowledge of the kinds of professions out there was limited to those of my family and the ones I saw on TV programs, such as modeling and being a tour guide.

In primary school, I learned about professions like scientist and engineer, which were preferred by many people because they were deemed high-level. Your family would be glad and praise you if they know you aim to be one of the two. But none of us really knew what exactly a scientist or engineer does.

I think many people chose a major based on their general and obscure understanding of it. That is why I think high school is a critical period to teach students how to design their future.

After all, only this can truly equip them to decide what they want to do in the future. Zou Min, by e-mail

1 stars Don't get me wrong, I really like the studio albums of Moonspell and I have even seen them in concert and I have liked their performance very much. That's why I got so shocked when I listened to this album. This album lacks of everything that a good live album needs. There is no connection and co ... (read more)

Our Achievements

These numbers show a few of our achievements up to now. We cannot do justice, though, to the wonderful work done by so many Projects Abroad volunteers who have given up their time to work abroad since 1992.

Here is a snapshot of some of our achievements:

26 The number of schools, spanning 12 countries, where our volunteers launched campaigns in 2015 to help improve literacy.
30+ The number of developing countries that we work in across five continents.
41 The different nationalities of our volunteers.
50+ The number of projects directly funded and operated by Projects Abroad staff and volunteers.
60+ The number of locations where we hold medical outreach and awareness programs.
230 The number of Disaster Relief volunteers who helped rebuild seven schools and a day care centre following Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
478 The number of bird species identified in the Taricaya Ecological Reserve in Peru (more than one species of bird for every hectare in the reserve).
1,000+ The number of projects that we offer our volunteers and interns, ranging from Teaching and Conservation to Medicine and Human Rights.
2,000+ The number of cases that our Law & Human Rights interns have completed to date.
4,500 The number of students who can attend school thanks to the efforts of our Disaster Relief volunteers in Nepal and the Philippines.
20,580 The number of students, across 350 schools, who benefitted from our Teaching Projects in 2015. Our volunteers have taught conversational English, French, German, maths, art, drama, sports, music and IT!

Item description for Life List: A Birder's Spiritual Awakening by Chris Dunford & Robin Mouat...

In 1998, Chris Dunford flew from California to Winnipeg. He then took the train north to Churchill and Hudson's Bay. He spent a week adding new sightings to his "life list" of birds. During the course of that week, he encountered a wide array of birds from Canada's North and discovered that he was coming to terms with a whole series of much deeper questions about his place inthe created world and his relationship to God. This is a unique book about birding that this as much about spirituality as it is about the fanatical interest that some people have in birds.

Nazr Mohammed is a family man, so the continuity of keeping his kids in the same school appealed to him.

The veteran center is a local product — the pride of Kenwood Academy — who enjoyed playing in front of relatives and friends last season. He's also a former NBA champion, and playing for a winning team is all he wants to do entering his 16th season.

But one of the biggest reasons Mohammed verbally agreed on a one-year contract to return at the veteran's minimum salary is a dynamic that hovers over most everything about the Bulls.

“I still haven't played with Derrick Rose,” Mohammed said by phone Tuesday morning, shortly after making official the return that most team observers expected.

“I've been fortunate to play with a lot of superstars in my career. And Derrick reminds me a lot of Kevin Durant, a humble, hardworking star who is all about the team. Playing with him will be great.”

Rose, of course, missed all of last season after knee surgery. Mohammed missed only half of it — or so it seemed after he drew 19 “Did Not Play, Coach's Decision” designations early in the season.

But coach Tom Thibodeau trusted Mohammed down the stretch, playing him in critical moments including the playoffs. Mohammed averaged 2.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in 11 minutes, but his value transcended numbers. He's a good presence in the locker room and can go long stretches without playing and still produce, a la Kurt Thomas from the 2010-11 Bulls.

Some people think that the sounds of the ocean are peaceful. I never understood this. The sounds of the seagulls cawing at each other sounds more like a heated debate than a mild conversation. The sounds of a campfire cracking and hissing sounds angry, not calm and soothing. Worst of all are the waves. Most people are under the illusion that the sound of the waves hitting the beach is one of serenity. When I hear the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, serene is not the emotion that comes to mind. The energy churning just beneath the surface increases it's velocity as it hurls the water to the sand. Rolling in such a way that the fluid crests and falls in a race to the shore. The sound the water makes as it collapses on top of itself, gathering stones and seaweed and whatever else lies in its wake and pushing it forward until finally the immovable sand stands in its way. Angry at this obstruction, the water hurls itself at this new barrier. Crashing into it with as much force as it possesses; the stones and sea life it has carried become caught in the crossfire, smashing into the rocky beach. if one listens closely enough, they can hear the rocks coming into contact with one another in a way that sounds almost painful. Yet still the beach remains absolute. The only sign of the chaos that has just unfolded is the sticky white sea foam left behind in the water's wake. Slowly dissolving into the sand. An apologetic band aid for the sand after the damage the water has caused. It continues on like this. A constant struggle between land and water. To me it seems much more violent than serene.

The End

Chapter VII

"And why are you out this late?" Arden asked, as I met him in the lobby. "I just grabbed some coffee, and why are you up this late?" I asked.

"I was worried about you." He replied.

"Well, you don't have to Arden, I can handle myself." I said coldly and went off. Arden grabbed my hand and pulled me back, something I did not expect an acquaintance to do. "There's something bothering you, I feel it."

"No, I'm totally fine. Will you let me go now? Markus needs me."

"He's sleeping in your room right now, let's talk, anyways, we haven't had a proper conversation between the two of us."

"What are you trying to do Arden?"

"You don't trust me don't you."

I fell silent, I couldn't deny it anymore. "It is just that.." He placed his finger gently on my lips, making me stop. "You don't need to explain, I understand you."

Arden pulled me towards him and wrapped me in his shoulders. "I'll protect you and Markus, I promise."

I let my guard down for a moment, I have a feeling that I could trust him.

"I'll never leave your side Jane, never."

The End

RNA, mRNA, sequencing... HELP

Posted 03 September 2009 - 02:25 AM

I am basically trying to determine the sequences of a mature protein in a variety of lines.
So for this I have;

  • extracted RNA,
  • treated with DNase
  • performed cDNA synthesis.
  • PCR with gene-specific primers
  • column clean up of excised band
  • ligate into PGEM-T easy vector
  • heat-shock into competent cells
  • grow up in SOC media
  • spread on 2xYT Plate
  • Colony PCR to check insert
  • grow up positive colonies in 2xYT
  • use Wizard Miniprep purification system
  • Sequence clones.

am I missing anything here? The problem is, somebody is 'teaching' me and they really aren't very good at explaining or answering questions on why we do each step, and what each reagent does etc. I have got to grips to this basic method and understand everything fine etc, but then people keep shooting questions at me about Poly A tailing and mRNa and so on.

When would you Poly A tail and why? And is what I have been doing correct?

Thanks so much for any help - I've been searching the internet and books for hours and hours and just can't quite figure it out.

Thanks again

If you just need the sequence, I would skip the whole ligation part and send the PCR product you got from the cDNA for sequencing after cleanup. This will give you basically the same information (but you will miss the first 30 bases of your gene of interest; but you could sequence coming from the other side). Besides from that, I think your protocol is just fine, but if you have trouble, explain your problem in more detail...

Thanks for your reply! I have been doing it this way so I can look at about 15 clones from each variety, to check certain mutations are conserved.

I have been having a problem with two of my lines though - I just can't seem to get any positive colonies from them. But as I have been successful with all the other lines, I assume it isn't a method problem?

I have used blue/white screening, and picked the white colonies, but these were 'negative'. However, I had a massive amount of primer dimer (when checked on a gel first), and only used PCR product so I suppose these may have inserted preferentially - giving a 'positive'. Unfortunately I did not pick a blue colony to compare sizes properly.

My next step is to repeat the PCR, and then excise the band, instead of just using PCR product. Column clean up and start again from there.

I've just checked the nanodrop reading after clean up, and it's saying 10ng/ul for one, and 27ng/ul for the other. However - the 260/230 reading is terrible - 0.28 and 0.48. The 260/280 reading 2.06 and 2.10. What does this mean?? Can i still use it?

what is the right method of thawing microsomes? i made microsomes by my own. my supervisor ask me to put in ice to let my micromes thaw slowly after taken out from -80 freezer. recently i bought comercial available rat liver microsomes from sigma. the method of thawing is by incubate briefly in 37 degree waterbath and put in ice immediately after thaw. i found that the latter method is much more convenient and faster. can i used that method? i have ask a person and she said that the enzymes will be decreased in activity if i do such way. any idea?

thank you

it doesn't matter. do what your supervisor told you to do.

however, your coworker has a point, if you leave it at 37C for too long then it may have a deleterious effect on the microsomes.

it is safer to thaw on ice.
talent does what it can
genius does what it must
i do what i get paid to do

Protomatic adds a Robot for improved process control

Robot Loader

The Protomatic Manufacturing System now has its first robot. The setup is based on a Haas VF-2SSYT 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center (VMC) combined with the Midaco Corp. 6-axis “Robotic Part Loading/Unloading system”. Together, they deliver an actual 11-axis control system. Additional servos, controlling functions such as automatic door operation, various manufacturing sensors, system handshakes, and air blow off actuators, are not counted as additional axis, but nevertheless are present on the Protomatic robot.

Multi-cavity vs. single-cavity manufacturing

To reduce costs, we have been manufacturing some parts in 4-cavity 5-axis machining centers. A cavity is a placement setup on a CNC machine with each cavity holding a unique part. This 4-cavity type of operation improves the process throughput of each machining cycle by 3 extra parts. However, one of the inherent process variations with this setup for high precision parts is that after cycle completion the machine is idle. The machine tool then cools and potentially changes the machine’s thermal drift by 0.0004’’. This changes the part dimensions to the extent that the expected location has moved and the insertion of a tool may not be where it is intended. In other words, the tool moves in where it is supposed to, but the machine tool has cooled and the target has moved as a result. Additionally, there may be “cavity to cavity” variation in setup. The net result with multiple cavities is more in-process inspection is required due to the potential cavity differences and thermal variations. In effort to improve part consistency, Protomatic has significantly reduced these variations with a robot which uses the same cavity each time.”

Why did we invest in a robot?

The 24/7 robotic operation allows the CNC machine to utilize a single-cavity setup and achieve or exceed the output performance of a manual multi-cavity setup. In addition, the machine’s continuous run time delivers better thermal stability, which incrementally improves part quality. The robot allows for continuous production without the extended periods of downtime present in a manual operation – which experiences small temperature changes in the machine. This technique improves overall product quality.

In-house support

Over the last six months we have trained operators and programmers in many areas, from designing and manufacturing our End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) grippers to handling the FANUC base 200ic5L 6-axis robot controls. The robot is equipped with a special tool called a “teach pendant”, which is used to program the robotic movements. With this tool, we can quickly program the robot to operate efficiently for many different applications.

Our customers can be assured of high quality and consistency in the parts they order from Protomatic. Many of our vertical machining centers have thermally resistant glass scales for consistent dimensional locating and are equipped with high-end options such as thru coolant, mist collection, tool life monitors, Renishaw Tool Break Detectors, and “High Speed Look Ahead” to improve machine finish performance. Please watch this video for a short load/unload demo.

Wrestlemania 29 Fake Vegas Bets

It’s that time of year, the flowers are blooming, the birds are returning, and the Superbowl of Wrestling is this weekend. The Showcase of the Immortals gives me an excuse to invite people over, cook hot wings and chili, and drink too much beer. I have a feeling this year’s Wrestlemania will have more “meh” matches than great but the few that will be great will make it worth the $65 and then some. The potential is there for a few matches, specifically one match, to never be forgotten by wrestling fans. So, here we my “fake Vegas gambling column” that I do every year for Wrestlemania.

I’ll explain the betting lines to those of you fortunate enough not to have a gambling problem like me.

The sign in front of the number indicates whether placing a wager on that outcome will pay out more money then you have wagered or less money then you have wagered. If the odd is negative (-) it means that outcome is more likely to happen and placing a bet on that outcome would payout, less than the amount you wagered, while a positive (+) odd shows that the outcome is less likely to happen and it would pay out more than the amount you wagered.

Example: Hulk Hogan (-200) Brooklyn Brawler (+150)

This means to win $100 on Hogan you’d have to bet $200. However, a $100 bet on Brawler would net you $150. So + indicates under dog and – indicates favorite. We good…okay let us begin.

Intercontinental Tile Match: WADE BARRETT (-180) vs. The Miz (+200)

Wade Barrett is favored coming into this one and part of that has to do with the fact that he has the “champions advantage”. I don’t think he’ll need to save his title by being counted out or disqualification. No, Barrett is just the far more talented and bigger of the two. I just don’t see how The Miz can win this one. Tough fall from grace for The Miz who just two years ago headlined Wrestlemania with John Cena. Oh how the mediocre wrestler has fallen. Take Wade here and thank me later.

Tons of Funk w/the Funkadactyls (+200) vs. Rhoades Scholars w/The Bellas (-300)

Vegas is very confident that Rhoades Scholars and Bellas will win, but I don’t share their confidence. For one thing, the sure size advantage of Tons of Funk should have pushed this line a lot closer than it is. For another Rhoades Scholars doesn’t have a signature win yet as a tag team and I’m starting to think they are more hype than talent. With that said, the Bella Twins have had more in ring experience than the Funkadactyls. I think it’ll be a surprisingly entertaining but quick match. I’m taking the underdogs here if only because there is a ton of money that can be made off a line that should have been closer.

TONS OF FUNK/THE FUNKADACTYLS over Rhoades Scholars w/the Bellas

Chris Jericho (-250) vs. Fandango (+150)

This one has the potential to surprise us. We know Chris Jericho is good enough to drag anyone through a decent match and Fandango looks like he could be very good in the ring. He has the worst gimmick of the last five years but he looks athletic enough to put on an entertaining match with Jericho. Jericho has loads more experience and that is why is favored in this match, but I’m worried that won’t matter. Jericho is a great performer but I have a nagging feeling in the back of my brain that somehow the upstart Fandango will find a way to win this one and piss off the WWE Universe further. No, I’ll take Jericho here but I’m not confident about the pick.

CHRIS JERICHO over Fandango

Ryback vs. Mark Henry

WWE Tag Title Match: TEAM HELL NO (-150) vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston (+150)

Team Hell No has held and defended their tag team titles much longer than I anticipated. I thought by now they would have imploded and started feuding with each other. That hasn’t happened and to the contrary, they seem to be getting along better than ever before. The team of Ziggler and Big E. is freighting in how good they could be. However, we have no idea how good their good is because we haven’t seen them, as we have Team Hell No. Team Hell No seems like the right choice here so I’ll take them, but the potential that Ziggler and Big E. have makes me hesitant.

TEAM HELL NO over Dolph Ziggler and Big E. Langston

No Holds Barred Match: Brock Lesnar (-300) vs. HHH (+250)

If HHH loses he has to retire, which you know is a big deal because then he can’t wrestle twice a year or something like that. With all snark aside, this could be one of the best matches of the night. I’m not talking from a wrestling standpoint but from a spectacle standpoint. This will be a brutal and physical match that we just don’t’ get to see anymore in the WWE. Lesnar has shown a propensity to bleed and HHH has shown even in today’s WWE that he will take a chair shot to the head. This will be a vicious match with big spots ala HHH vs. Undertaker two years ago. There won’t be many actual wrestling moves but it will be top three match of the night guaranteed. With that said, I think even with Vegas jacking up the odds; I’m still taking Lesnar. This means bye bye HHH…until you return in a few years.

World Heavyweight Title Match: ALBERTO DEL RIO vs. Jack Swagger (push)

Vegas gives us our first push of the night and I have to say I’m just as torn as they are. I would like to think Alberto Del Rio will win and then Jack Swagger will be suspended for his wellness policy violation but I just don’t think they are going to punish Swagger. This should be a good match if the WWE lets them actually have a match as oppose to an 8-second kick and it’s over. Generally speaking, the WHT doesn’t get the respect I think it deserves, and that is doubly true at Wrestlemania. I think it’ll get 10 minutes and they’ll each hit their spots but neither will shine and then it’ll be over leaving us wanting just a little bit more. Swagger and Del Rio are both very talented performers and I’m actually excited to see these two; even if it will only be for a short amount of time. I think it is a complete toss up but my money is on Swagger.

WWE Title Match: THE ROCK (-200) vs. John Cena (+250)

Vegas always loves rematches because you know what to expect. This “once in a lifetime” event was so “awesome” we get to see it again. In all seriousness, though this was not a terrible match last year and I expect it’ll be another fun watch. The Rock looked sharp in his two matches against Punk…, which you know probably, has a lot to do with Punk but still. Cena seems edgier than he has in the past and he seems to be edging closer to a heel turn…, which doubly means it won’t happen. The WWE loves to mess with internet wrestling fans who want so desperately for Cena to turn heel. I just don’t see that happening because well he is a freaking cash cow thanks to kids. Kids just don’t buy the shirts of bad guys. So, you internet fans clambering for that long sought after Cena heel turn are going to be super bummed after Cena beats the Rock cleanly on Sunday. That’s right I’m picking Cena even though it kills me. Cena will win and set up the rubber match for Extreme Rules or hey why not a trilogy at Wrestlemania?

CM Punk (+350) vs. The Undertaker (-300) Undertaker’s Streak

CM Punk has crossed more lines than anyone who has ever faced the Undertaker has. No one has attacked the mythology of the Taker the way Punk did on Monday. Punk opened the urn and powered its contents and it’s “power” all over himself and the Undertaker on Monday. The Undertaker’s streak has never seemed to be in more danger than it is this year. Punk has erased from our minds his most recent failures and instead of talking about that, we are all talking about what he did on Monday. Paul Heyman and CM Punk have played perfect mind games against the king of mind games, but it won’t be enough. As a CM Punk mark, I can’t help but keep my bias out of my columns. It sucks to say it but there is no way The Undertaker’s streak ends this Sunday. Not with Wrestlemania 30 looming next year. No, if Punk gets to end the Streak it’ll have to be at their rematch next year. However, I have no doubt this will be match of the night and a candidate for match of the year. I also think that after Monday’s Raw this match has to get top billing over Rock and Cena. It probably won’t be last but it should be because it’s the only match with an actual build up to it. Cena vs. Rock seemed very flat this time around compared to last year. Punk and Taker have built a great story here and I can’t wait for the conclusion on Sunday, even if it means Punk loses.
