I think many things in the Maniatis book are unnecessary,old and time
-consuming.

I cut my PBluescript with EcoRI and didnt precipitate anything.I just
added buffer for CIP and some Units CIP .Then incubate at 37C.

Well, I just made two phenol/chlorof/IAA extractions and precipitated  the
vector with 2 vol ethanol. Then I used it for ligation. 
Obviously it worked. I screened only 10 cols and I found the recombinant
pBS in one colony.
