I recently read that the Supreme Court has a decision to make. "Should you be able to patent the Human Genome?"
The answer is NO, NO, NO,NO!!!
On the other hand though you should be able to patent medicines that treat genetic problems just not the Genome itself. As a arm chair farmer I am No fan of Monsanto Seed company. They sell genetically modified seed and if you keep your seeds to replant they send gangster like creeps after you. Since you must always buy "New Seed's" from them and even when necessary the enzyme that unlocks the seeds dormant growth potential.
I don't like this at all. Still the Human Genome and parts thereof need to remain public domain so that research can continue without paying someone else (Not You or I) exorbitant fees.
What I want to see is a more affordable way to restock our marine fisheries with cloned fish..

Somethin for our pets
Dr. Frankel of "Vetrinary Specialty and Emergency Center" gets credit for this.
I have shortened this list but if you have a question, call your vet.
The following foods and food stuffs are not good for our pets health. Dogs and Cats.
1) Chocolate and Caffeine
2) Grapes, raisins, currants
3) Lily plants are not good for cats.
4) 'Xylitol' found as a sweetner in some chewing gums.
5) Some dogs don't do macadamia nuts too well.
6) Jerky treats made in China. The same folks that put glycol in their toothpaste.
7) Beer hops. I didn't say beer just the 'hops'.
8) Don't give doggie meds to cats.
9) Anti-freeze smells good and taste sweet but definitley a no-no. (glycol is an ingredient)
Now this is my advertisement:
I know a lot of people love their furry friends (some are hair less) What I recommend is install a
pet waste digester in your back yard. I do these for $165.00 The digester itself is usually about $60.
Then you also get your microbes. The real work though is the hole you have to dig to install these pet waste digester units. Takes me about 3 hours to dig. Follow manufacturer recommendations.
You can call me at 443-750-5263
Throwing away untreated animal waste in a trash can is not a good idea. Especially with single bag recycling. Of course at the dog parks around the city this waste is handled differently.
This is not about pets. Our babies are fine using cotton diapers instead of disposable ones.
There is the business of rinsing out messy diapers but that is what gloves and soap are for. Seriously cotton diapers can be competitive with and probably cheaper than disposable diapers in the very first year. Thats all for this entry. Visit www.concepte-3.blogspot.com For more great info.

Jami's family time recipe '+'
Welcome to Spring.Jami Appenzeller of Philly Fit magazine said I can share this with you.
If we put away the cell phone and get together with the family here are some things to do!
1) Grab an apron and get cooking! Yep that is right. Everybody helps, everybody gets to make some messes, everybody gets to eat, and everybody gets to clean up to. Washing dishes can be fun.
My suggestions: Nacho NIght! Not very messey but easy, fun and flavorful too.
Nacho chips, Jalapeno rings, nacho cheese sauce, Something like "Pace" and add some ground turkey to get some extra protein. And for more fun Guacamole for everyone.
Taco Night really takes lots of dishes but soo good. This is what My Step Dad would do,
Ground beef, refried beans, shredded cheese, chop some onions (Their own bowl) and some tomatoes, get some potatoes and make home fries (I recommend diceing or making small chunks and deep frying these potatoes) The goal is to eat lots of tacos including soft and crunchy ones.)
This makes some of the best leftovers too good for practically anything even omelettes.
2) Go to the libray (that place with books!) and explore.
3) This is my step dads idea. The family gripe night. This is when everyone vents their frustrations such as sis takin toooo long in the bathroom. Mom and dad are the referees.
Jami's take is to bring an object to the kitchen table. Let everyone say what they like or don't like about the object too. Make suggestions for improvements if any. (Here the 3rd sweater you got for Christmas isn't off limits).
4) This one gets my seal of approval too! Camp and cookout outside in the back yard. Make some Smores, tell ghost stories and more. Leave the social networking tools in the house. This is always fun.
5) Break out the vintage work out videos, What is more fun dress like the participants in the video.a
So don't be afraid to do some "Sweatin with the oldies stuff either".
