This is not even adding dental stuff. Takes your mind off important stuff like gardening. |

No, but I too don't like the idea of the seed market being taken over like this. Patented genomes are one thing in perennials, especially ones that don't grow true like apples. The only way to get a Rome apple tree is to use a shoot off of an existing Rome apple tree. As long as some variety of apple remains in patent the initial grower gets to benefit from being the sole source. Patented genomes are a different thing when their contracts come with unconscienable clauses. Farmers who have not purchased patented seeds are getting sued because their own seed stock got contaminated by patented pollen. That's ridiculous. Juries should refuse to find in favor of the company and judges should disbar lawyers who put such cases forward. Patents, contract law, rules about unconscienable clauses. It's all kept complex by the lawyers for the big seed companines. But is it really complex? Maybe farmers who purchase patented seed and agreed to purchase patented seed again next year are obligated to live by that agreement. Maybe not. That depends on whether the pricing is abusive and therefore unconscienable. But farmers who didn't should not be held liable. Pollen gets out. |

I know the clot filter isn't and plate in collarbone is just under the skin and does not attract a magnet. Not sure about the stents or chest wires. I'll have to ask my cardiologist when I see her in a couple of weeks. Never had an MRI but have had enough xrays and CT scans that I oughta glow in the dark. |

I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. |

IIRC MRI have to do with the magnetic moment of hydrogen atoms as they are excited to higher energy levels and then fall back, they give off unique electromagnetic waves which reflect the difference in their orbital energies. These are the wavelengths that MRIs are looking for. -- - Billy Obama is now backing a bipartisan Senate budget plan that would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.
