NEW YORK – One trip for their Jack Russell terrier in a plane's cargo hold was enough to convince Alysa Binder and Dan Wiesel that owners needed a better option to get their pets from one city to another.
On Tuesday, the first flight for the husband-and-wife team's Pet Airways, the first-ever all-pet airline, took off from Republic Airport in Farmingdale, N.Y.
All commercial airlines allow a limited number of small pets to fly in the cabin.

As evidence that the country is closer to socialist than capitalist these days, radio and talk show host Glenn Beck recently made this claim about John Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy:
"I mean, we've got czars now," Beck said during his July 22, 2009, program. "Czars like John Holdren, who has proposed forcing abortions and putting sterilants in the drinking water to control population."
Political figures like Holdren, who are little-known by most Americans, make easy targets.

DENNIS TOWNSHIP Robin Grace has two pet fire-bellied toads, Angelo and Jonica, that live in a tank in her bedroom.
“I just find them so interesting,” she said of her fondness for the amphibians.
So when it came time to dissect frogs in her eighth-grade science class at the Dennis Township Middle School School, she was less than enthused.

Clean & Green
Here's a collection of my favorite natural cleaning formulas, concoctions
and witches brews. MOST are safe and nontoxic, with a few exceptions which are clearly noted.
Use the ingredients listed below when making your own alternative cleaners, most are
inexpensive and you probably already have many of them in your kitchen cupboards.

Protein Pretense:
Cheating the standard protein tests is easy, but industry hesitates on alternatives
By Alison Snyder
After hundreds of dogs and cats fell ill this past spring, government officials traced the source to melamine, a nitrogen-rich compound found in plastics and fertilizer that, when ingested by the animals, crystallized in their kidneys and caused renal failure. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration later announced that producers may have deliberately added the compound to wheat gluten and rice protein concentrates to inflate the measured amount of protein.

It is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I don't want you to be thinking it is not a disease you need to worry about if you are young. I hate to use scare tactics, but younger and younger women are getting diagnosed with breast cancer!
I had the pleasure of talking to one plucky lady, Carolyn Dippel, and learning the story of her battle with breast cancer.
