Kewel.... How was the trial... Promising?

The company I worked for did tools for electroporation. they shot the cells with high voltage to cause them to allow genes to migrate in.... Rather than using chemicals. ... We had a geneticist on loan from Oxford I believe helping direct the course of the studies. I was designing and surpervising the build on the Cuvettes and actual safety stands to hold the Cuvettes

The stand was hooked up ot a huge generator the Cuvettes were inserted with the genetic material in them and the stands wouldn't operate till the lid was shut. Then someone would throw the switch...

They also had some tools they were working with that were designed for localized Chemotherapy using external electrodes... I refined the drawings for them...

This was back in the year Jurassic park came out.

For what its worth I spoke to the geneticist about Jurassic park and asked if the premise was possible... his answer.... "Absolutely"

Quote: You got drafts? VBG... I believe they have six stallions and they ship pop in a can... When I bought Katee I wanted a half draft.,.. or was shopping for a half draft. Something around sixteen hands maybe a Thoroughbred cross... Back in 2000 a "Sport Horse" was running around Seven to Ten Grand around here... Dressage is really big here. So is hunter jumper stuff... The draft crosses are big movers and Steady Eddys when all the other horses get fluffed up over something.

But when I did a little more research in Percherons they are a more Utilitarian than some of the other drafts... horse of choice for fire engines back in the day. Often rode to fox and hound on the east coast... Good with the job of moving people and cargo in cities because they have an innate knowledge of where their feet are most times. So I found Katee for half what a sport horse would be and I fell in love. A teeny postage stamp sized picture on the interenet... she had the same presence of my first horse... Sweet posture... But not on the scale of conformation as the horses above.

Well, the smart guys aren't too smart if they can't make the tools themselves.

OOOh! How exciting! I love Appaloosa's

Honestly Deb, I have not found a horse that doesnt make my heart go pitter- patter. Got the bug as a youngster and never could find a cure for the disease. THe drafts are lovely and seeing that they are still being bred is wonderfu. Went to a belgian farm in VT in 1981 and she bred and used hers to till, plant and harvest. Me . .. I have sport horses. When feeding Im always tearing them apart-- so I know what daddy to breed the girls too. Havent bred much since the market fell a few years ago. THis year the breeding bug is biting. . . .perhaps it is the effects of the long snowy winter.

I had a friend let me ride her Treckhaner mare... Shes a dressage judge... or was working on her certificate last time I talked to her... She loved Katee.

My brilliant idea was to do Driven dressage... but I forgot one thing... money.... sigh. Carriages and harness and trainers and horse trailers to haul it all to shows.... just the Carriage started at around ten grand... harness about half that.... Then the trainer is an ongoing thing... I did find a goood trainer... just dumb luck on my part ... lucky for Katee.

Yep babies are fun I have trained only one. Half Arab Half Standardbred. He did it all trail, western dressage and Carriage. But his best was Driving...
