I have to use that icon more often. I loved it so. It's also so dated. Oh well.

Hey, I'm Green. Thumbs up? I don't get to vote for Ron Paul. Thumbs down? I don't get to vote for Barak Obama.

Moment of WTF?

I get two women to chose between and neither of them Hilary.

Here, you go for it:

[Poll #1133489]

For the rest?

NO. Repeat as often as necessary.

Oh, and Furitani can stay.

Five minutes after the polls opened this morning, 39 degrees and DAMN, I'm glad that's done. I also got a new sticker for the DS. Go me.

This is nifty -

British scientists say they have created human embryos containing DNA from two women and a man in a procedure that researchers hope might be used one day to produce embryos free of inherited diseases.

Though the preliminary research has raised concerns about the possibility of genetically modified babies, the scientists say that the embryos are still only primarily the product of one man and one woman.

You can hear the hue and cry now, right? Gay marriage is NOTHING against this, right?

"The process aims to create healthy embryos for couples to avoid passing on genes carrying diseases.

The genes being replaced are the mitochondria, a cell's energy source, which are contained outside the nucleus in a normal female egg. Mistakes in the mitochondria's genetic code can result in serious diseases like muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, strokes and mental retardation.

In their research, Chinnery and colleagues used normal embryos created from one man and one woman that had defective mitochondria in the woman's egg. They then transplanted that embryo into an emptied egg donated from a second woman who had healthy mitochondria.

The research is being funded by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, a British charity.

Only trace amounts of a person's genes come from the mitochondria, and experts said it would be incorrect to say that the embryos have three parents.

"Most of the genes that make you who you are are inside the nucleus," Chinnery said. "We're not going anywhere near that."

I'm still not happy that there is nothing for people with these issues - only a possible means to prevent them in the future (and so far, the only way to find the issue in parents is for them to have a kid WITH them).

Interesting times, neh?

Social Calendar

Feel free to jump in anytime.

Trip to the San Diego Wild Animal Park - planned for April 12th.

Camping trip to Joshua Tree National Monument - tentatively weekend of May 17th.

Camping trip to El Capitan State Beach - tentatively planned for June 7th.

80's Redux Party at MAH HOUSE - June 21st. Or the 14th. Depends.

Redoing the Christmas Eve at the house party - oh, like August 9th.

But here's the big one:

PICNIC EASTER SUNDAY AT POLLIWOG PARK IN MANHATTAN BEACH.

Get out there about 10:00 AM, bring tons of picnic food, drinks and all the games we can play. Go home when sunburned. Bring laptop with iTunes.

Park location:

Neat, tidy, clean and near the beach if that floats your boat.

Oh, and a few minutes south of LAX for those interesting in being jet-setters.

We can bite the heads off chocolate rabbits and stuff.

Still considering MakersFaire over May 3rd in San Francisco.

Considering building eVites for these events - comment if you want in.
