Romney as born-again State's Rights disciple

5.21: co.apt/pol/to repub's
mormon romney is born-again state's rights:
. some other christians call mormonism a cult;
and the reason for that could be that
by fabricating their own 3rd bible,
mormonism may be suggesting that
the christian's interpretation of the bible
is a fabrication -- "(they may as well have
written a whole new book! let us do the same .)
. so perhaps,
by using mormon romney as a candidate,
the repub's intend to communicate
that they are the political landscape's
new and vibrant moral fiber .
[ or they could be trying to attract
people from 3rd parties?...
most likely his mormonism is an accident,
what they meant to communicate about him
is his conversion from being a democrat
to being a small-gov state-rights republican
so the main message is:
we don't have to agree with our candidate,
we just need to find someone that likes
state's rights, and love them for it .
6.23: 5.21:
. another important message is change:
Bush converted from drunk to christian;
Obama converted from druggy to christian;
and now that christian conversions seem played,
Romney represents the Tea Party conversion
from Democrat-funded tax-and-spend liberal
to Integrated Money Party -funded
maximal freedom for Big Money conservative .]

credit to debt ratio

5.12: pol/credit to debt ratio:
. credit to debt ratio has nothing to do with your
level of student loan debt,
or how much of a student loan you have piled up;
rather it has everything to do with
your relationship to credit cards,
although this too can be unfair
since you can get hit just for closing accounts
without having an open account with an active history .
. I think the person who was fired for a credit report
might have some serious credit card bills
rather than seeking out more sane, responsible places
to get a full-coverage student loan from .
. this person appears to be assuming that
it's ok to steal from a credit card company
in the event of unemployment after school;
this puts the person's ethics into question .
. would you hire such a person to do your accounting?
they could be desperate eno' to
use the accounting job for their own gain,
such as taking bribes for looking the other way .

Hans Verboon

Why not, have the government control this too.
Most of our politicians are overweight anyway.
I say leave the market to be free,
including health insurance.
May 9 at 5:11am via mobile

me:

@Hans Verboon May 9  "(I say
leave the market to be free, including health insurance.)
. but the market can't be free
when average americans agree that we should
be given medical care and asked questions later;
it's creating this cycle of people using emergency rooms,
hospitals raise costs for insurance co's,
insurance is too expensive,
forcing people to rely on emergency rooms ...
hence, obamacare's mandatory insur'premiums .
. what would be fair for the free market
is to let us decide what services we'll accept,
and then we must pay insurance for only those services .
. eg, I don't want to be treated for cancer,
heart disease, diabetes, or mental illness;
but I do want surgery for accident recovery,
so my premium should be about $10/month .
(I could pay that much with plasma money!)

GOP (Get OverPopulation)

[6.22: summary:
. the highlight of this post was the realization that
GOP had the same initials as Get OverPopulation;
but the main theme is overpopulation's causes,
and ideas for humane solutions .
. inflation and unemployment together
are symptoms of overpopulation relative to
the labor needs of capitalism .
. when the GOP says "(we don't have the money)
they mean they don't need our labor;
and, all of their cost-cutting measures
are attempts to get overpopulation
by making us feel like we can't afford children .
. they don't feel like they're being heard though,
because they are the party of church values,
but they keep reminding us of family values
and hope we get the hint:
if your family doesn't have a job for your children
your family should at least have a spare bedroom .
. most of all they talk about reaganomics,
but you must know there are no more jobs
because they Get OverPaid too!
. not only are those jobs not coming back,
we are just a few years from intelligent automation;
so as we have more people needing a free lunch,
shouldn't we pay people to stop reproducing? ]

better wages needed? for not reproducing

5.22: co.g'+/pol/purges/unemployment/
we need more than better wages:
Sheila Nagig:

The trouble nowadays is that
nobody has much in the way of disposable
income to spend on much beyond the necessities of life.
It's why furniture stores go out of business in a recession.

me:

I was wondering if you could undepress me;
I was sure the trouble nowadays was that our overpopulation
is finally colliding with our capitalistic value enhancements .
. the republicans don't believe in job creation either;
they just solidly reject the other myth:
that socialistic handouts can save the
bottomless pit of population expansion that we are .
. can you show me how I'm deluded?

who's economy? obama's or private parenting?

5.29: co.apt/pol/purges/reaganomic/
neolib's are not job creators:

. I am a neolib, and I'm just warning you,
if you think romney is about jobs,
both the repub's and the dem's are also neolibs
giving your jobs to the needy globally;
so, if you give them a tax break,
they are only giving more jobs to india and china .
. just remember, you're the 60% who actually
owns something in america besides a birth certificate
-- crappy commoners .

5.10: news.pol/purges/reaganomics/
it's obama's economy:
andy dean conservative radio:
. he has this subservient lesbian sidekick
who when asked what she thought of
obama's lackluster economy,
said she doesn't believe in the 99%
-- said a person's job prospects are
up to the individual;
so it doesn't matter what obama did .
. the 99% is hiding the elephant of overpopulation,
and that is indefensible;
but, why isn't an obama supporter like herself
pointing out that the economy has
nothing to do with the president?
. obama isn't even allowed to touch
the root cause of our unemployment
which is globalized capitalism
-- that is nothing less than the unstoppable
perfection of the american way!
. if you believe in capitalism at all,
you believe in eventual automation,
so you must believe in massive unemployment
-- inevitably!
so stop dreaming about economic expansion,
and think about the homeless you generate
breeding like you want to .

moving vmwares to mac's external drive

5.5: sci.cyb/vmware/
sharing vm's in Share acct not possible:
 
[6.13: summary:
. mac permissions are a big hassle!
you're supposed to have 3 user folders:
one for your restricted user's personal use,
one for admn's personal use,
and a shared folder that is accessible by everyone .
. but shared access means read-only,
and read-only affects the running of
 vm's [Virtual Machines].
. I had created a 2nd restricted user's acct,
and I thought I could use the same vm's
since they were in the Shared folder,
but when I tried to run the vm's
it said I didn't have permission,
because running the vm implies modifying its files .
. if you want user accts to share completely,
you have to store the files in an external drive .]

. using vm's from another acct doesn't work
even when it's the shared acct
with permissions set to everyone can read and write .
[... because
acl's are enforcing Owners Enabled ]
. after getting all the vm's set up,
I then undid it for the experiments,
to see if the problem was sharing when
the vm's were using suspends or snapshots
(that was one problem but there were others).
. finally redid everything back to normal
but what if I wanted to work in a new acct ?

sci.cyb/vmware/sharing vm's in usb drive is possible:
. try sharing an xp and xu from the dos-formatted drive
that likely won't have acl's attached to it?
yes, that does work;
if it's the acl's, they don't seem to matter on
one partition of my firewire drive;
I have that partition named as if it's exfat-formatted,
but disk utility says the current format is Mac Journaled;
the key difference is [owners enabled: no]
the partition used by Apple`timemachine on that same drive
has answered yes to that .

5.6: proj.cyb/vmware/vm's on external drive:

( earlier,
I'd done an experiment on vmware:
can I access a vm from a new acct?
no because it's shared with an old acct
...)
. I missed the point of the experiment!
it wasn't to share vm's between accts,
it was to see if a transfer of vm's between accts
would work at all .
. what the experiments told us was that
moving the vm to the external drive
(a drive that is not Owner Enabled)
makes the vm exist without ACL-owned complications
so then after getting a copy from the external drive,
it can be run by any acct .
. and if you do want sharing
then keep it on the external drive;
but, if you don't want sharing,
then first get the vm from the external,
and copy it to the acct's drive .
. if you're not concerned that
the acct isn't owning a vm,
then keep in mind that
if using conventional disk drives
rather than solid state devices,
and if the host OS is on the internal drive
then the vm will run more efficiently on
the external drive
since the host and guest OS's
won't be having to compete for
the location of the disk's read-write arm .

. if the bank.vm should be encrypted
it could stay on the internal drive .
[6.13: (considering Lion's encryption;
later decided to stay with just encrypting data) ]

. for timemachine to work on an external drive,
you need a 2nd drive;
. you can still benefit from timeMachine's
multiple snapshots feature,
but you have to manually copy changed parts
over to the internal drive that timemachine is backing .
[6.13:
. a 3rd possibility that I finally decided on
was to put the vm on the same external drive as timeMachine,
and then put the data on the internal drive .]

. rename the external drive as Primary .
(the reason it was named exfat
is that I had it formatted to exfat
until it was found that my xp laptop
couldn't read the drive anyway
because the drive was partitioned .
. linux on the laptop can both see partitions
and read mac format .

5.8: proj.cyb/vmware/moving to new system:
. in the new system,
all vm's are on the external drive,
and prep for this includes the usual
pulling out snapshots, and shutting them down
instead of suspending them .
. inside vmware's library all the links will be bad,
so I have to delete them all and reopen each vm,
to have it listed by the library .
[...,
. if I change the name of the drive,
the library links are again shot,
so, I'd want to make sure the drive's name is ok .]

5.6: mis.cyb/vmware/easy mistake wastes a lot of time:
. I messed up the decision of
whether to say the vm was moved or copied;
I should have said I copied it
because I need to be using both instances at once,
once I answered it wrong,
I didn't see any way to undo it,
so I had to recopy the huge thing .
may have also needed to change the name
of the enclosing folder?
(you can't change the name of the vm itself
because that makes it unusable
unless you know how to patch the internal param file).

elucidate wiki's account of WTC destruction

6.12:
. this is in reference to an earlier blog post
in which I was concerned that skyscrapers are using
controlled demolition as means of
emergency fire suppression
without telling either the public or firefighters .

6.10: co.apt/pol/purges/controlled demolition/automated:
. why didn't they tell the firefighters to leave
if they controlled when the building would fall down?
perhaps the demolition system is automated:
ie, the building could be sensing when its
electrical coordination system is about to get
compromised by the fire,
thereby allowing it to avoid a controlled demolition
up until the point at which the fire damage would
render the system unable to execute a demolition .

the first ever Food Revolution Day

A day to spread awareness and knowledge
about healthy eating!
Are any of you joining or hosting an event?

me:
. thanks for supporting Food Revolution Day .
. the important thing with meat is
certifying no grains were fed,
unless the animal is a natural grain eater
(eg, grasshoppers, crickets, other insects)
. I would also want an annual sanity test
that included 3rd-party dioxin testing;
if the animal is sitting high on the food chain
(from being fish entrails for instance)
then this may show up in a dioxin test .
. for economics, I would start by
feeding organic grain to grasshoppers or crickets
and then try feeding pressure-cooked beans and insects
to the chickens for meat and eggs .
. not sure if grass-eating animals will eat insects,
but if they'll eat mouldy grain out of a trough
they might eat anything!
. until then, the only animal product I can trust is
whey protein isolate and eggland's organic best eggs .
(I actually have to do without organic eggland's in my area
but eggs are very important brain food
and low-sat'fats = low-grain fed .)

. endemic in some large wild cats, such as African lions.
Unlike domestic cats, these species do not necessarily
exhibit symptoms, perhaps because
they have developed evolutionary mutations
that confer resistance.

casual transmission:

It has never been established in HIV research
that an intermediate host, such as a mosquito or flea,
can transmit productive infection [Webb],
and the same is believed to be the case with FIV.
...
. bloodborne HIV in a syringe
can survive outside the human body
for periods up to several weeks;
viability is “influenced by virus titre,
volume of blood, ambient temperature,
exposure to sunlight and humidity” [Thompson].
While cause for concern among human drug users,
this is of little practical relevance to felines,
although the variables cited undoubtedly play some role in
an exposed environment as they do in a hypodermic syringe.
FIV, like HIV, is not particularly sensitive to
ordinary room temperature,
but is very sensitive to such variables as
pH level [AIDSMap],
a fact which accounts, for instance,
for inactivation by stomach acid.
...
Blood, of course, contains {FIV, HIV} viruses
and can be shed.
Drying does not seem to affect the infectivity of HIV,
and the same is probably true of FIV [AIDSMap].

mosquitoes not a problem (whew!):

. it is not possible to get HIV from mosquitoes.
When taking blood, mosquitoes do not inject blood
from any previous person.
The only thing that a mosquito injects is saliva,
which acts as a lubricant
and enables it to feed more efficiently.

raw egg virus might cause cancer

5.11: news.health/raw egg virus might cause cancer:
Michael Greger, M.D.:

the risk for cancers of the blood and bone marrow,
such as non-Hodgkins lymphoma, various leukemias,
and myeloma (more details in my 2 min. video
EPIC Findings on Lymphoma).
Chicken consumption appeared the most hazardous,
associated with up to triple the cancer rates
for every 50 grams of daily poultry consumption
—that’s just a quarter of a chicken breast worth!
Why was there so much more lymphoma and leukemia risk
among those eating just a small serving of chicken a day?
As detailed in my 2 min. video
Chicken Dioxins, Viruses, or Antibiotics?,
the association between poultry and cancer
may be explained by the presence of
drugs, industrial carcinogens such as dioxins,
and/or the presence of oncogenic (cancer-causing) viruses.
In Poultry and [human] Cancer
I present the largest study to date
on poultry workers and cancer mortality,
which found a whopping 8-fold increased risk of
dying from penile cancer compared to controls,
a finding thought due to chicken virus exposure,
raising broader food safety concerns.
If chickens can be infected with
viruses linked to cancer in consumers,
then what about eggs?

These cancer-causing viruses found in chicken and eggs
are utterly destroyed by proper cooking,
so the primary risk of infection
would presumably be associated with
cross-contamination,
such as when mixing cake batter,
handling raw poultry, or even just
touching meat or shopping carts .

-- #oops that's my #raw #egg #diet, falling on my face!
6.5: yea but
you're already cancer-fried by touching shopping carts?!
don't forget your high-dose selenium!
and your hormonic(low-insulin), low-glycemic diet!!

calcium supp's cause arterial calcifications?

5.9: web,mis.health/
when do calcium supps cause arterial calcifications?:

. I had erroneously assumed that the
routine finding of arterial calcification in elders
was being made worse by the advice
to take calcium to fight bone resorption .

. calcification is a problem,
but in the calcium deficient test animal,
calcium-supp'ing, reduced calcification by 62%;
because,
when there's a deficit of calcium in the blood,
 the body excessively releases bone calcium
[20. Sanders S, Debuse M. 2003:89-90.]
and saturates soft tissues with calcium .

. so, could there be a bell curve effect,
where a deficit of calcium does
 flood the system with bone calcium,
but likewise, if you're taking megadoses of calcium,
that would have the same effect as low calcium?

. in any case, there is a study showing that
calcium supp's do increase the risk
of heart attacks by 27%;
and, lef.org points out the study's special conditions:
the risk from calcium is eliminated by
combining the calcium with sufficient levels of
calcium controlers (vit'd, vit'k, magnesium).
. not only does vit'k keep calcium in bones,
it has some way of keeping it off arterial walls,
[5.10: likely by making it latch onto more useful things,
that happen to be closer by .]

5.10: depends on form:
. certain forms of vitamin D are provoking bone resorption:
25-hydroxycholecalciferol
vs 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol
In 10 patients taking oral 0.25 micrograms of
1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol twice daily for 7 d,
--[ Rocaltrol Oral Suspension (calcitriol) Rx ]--
calcium absorption increased more than in 10 patients taking
oral 40 micrograms of
25-hydroxycholecalciferol once daily for 7 d (p less than 0.02)
--[ the common D3 found in most supplements ]--
despite both groups having a
similar increase in plasma 1,25-(OH)2D.
These results support the view that the major effects of
oral 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol on absorption
is due to a local action on the gut
and that it is possible to increase
calcium absorption in osteoporosis
with oral 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol
without increasing its undesirable action on bone resorption.

6.5: may depend on dosing too:
. the form provoking the bone resorption
is also the most common form by far;
so maybe it would still be safer if
the dose was divided and taken with calcium ?
but too much calcium
inhibits conversion to the active form:

The following inhibit the activity of 1-hydroxylase enzyme
needed for making active vitamin D (calcitriol):
    # low parathyroid hormone (PTH)
     - PTH stimulates 1-hydroxylase.
     [see how common low PTH is, and what to do about it]
    # High calcium levels cause lowered PTH .
    # High phosphorus intake/high blood phosphorus.
    (An aside: Fructose we eat gets phosphorylated,
    grabbing phosphorus and holding it in the liver.
    So fructose (fruit) consumption can counter
    high phosphorus intake(dairy, fish, meat, soda) .)
    [don't mix high fructose with high-glycemic diet]
    # High concentrations of calcitriol
    - A negative feedback mechanism is in play, meaning,
    the more active vitamin D you have circulating,
the less active the enzyme.

. the Active vitamin D, also called calcitriol,
is a high-energy, twice-hydroxylated compound
with a very short half-life (about 5 hours)
- such that levels of active vitamin D are tightly controlled .
Serum concentrations of active vitamin D (calcitriol)
are not typically correlated with vitamin D intake,
or vitamin D stored as 25(OH)D3.
It is primarily calcitriol that is responsible for the
benefits we're discovering about this vitamin,
e.g. mineral balance and bone mineralization,
immunity, blood pressure control,
reduction in cancer cell proliferation, and insulin secretion.

"(the american gov has the same approach to

-- jon stewart

co.g'+#Kelline Pickett: 7:40 PM:

+MAZE RAGE
earlier in this stream I commented on
what my view of this post
about Jon Stewart sounds like to me.
I will comment again for you.
He's making a comparison statement
of the American Government to all Christians.
That can be considered a matter of his opinion.
However, his statement is based on an assumption
that all Christians don't read their Bibles.
To make an assumption like this,
one would have to know every single Christian personally. 

Philip Torrance Apr 28, 2012

"( the american gov has the same approach
to reading the constitution
that christians have to reading the bible )
. I don't think you have to know any christians
to make that statement;
if you just listen to what anyone in christianity
is supposed to believe,
you know they are pretty selective
in their reading of the bible .
. a careful reading of the bible
should convince one that Christ didn't even die,
let alone get raised from the dead;
meanwhile, a christian is defined as
one who believes Christ rose from the dead;
therefore, a "christian" must be
one who is not reading their bible .

well you have obviously never read the bible.
That was the stupidest thing I've read so far.
Coming from someone who has
read it cover to cover over a dozen times.
4:23 AM
Just because someone reads the bible occasionally
does not make them a Christian.
Just like going to McDonalds occasionally
does not make you fat.
You have to live it or it does nothing.

Philip Torrance:

until I give you the biblical quotes,
and explain how I interpreted them .
. you can read the bible hundreds of times,
and of course really live it,
but if you don't have a justifiable interpretation
you are just living in a dream .

+ℛichard Mead Apr 28, 2012
some supporting detail showing how the Bible
has convinced me that Christ didn't die,
and didn't rise:

Jesus was crucified at nine in the morning,
and died at three in the afternoon,
or just six hours after the crucifixion.
Pilate was surprised to hear that
Jesus had died so soon (Mk 15:44).
The average time of suffering before death by crucifixion
is stated to be about 2-4 days,
and there were reported cases
where the victims lived for as long as 9 days.
The body is taken down from the cross and immediately
handed over to a close disciple (Joseph of Arimathea),
who transports Jesus' body to a
close-by roomy secure burial chamber.

. in that same chapter, the context is:

42 And when it was evening,
because it was the time of getting ready,
that is, the day before the Sabbath,
43 There came Joseph of Arimathaea,
a responsible man in high honour,
who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God;
and he went in to Pilate without fear,
and made a request for the body of Jesus.
44 And Pilate was surprised that he was dead;
and, sending for the captain,
he put a question to see if he had been dead for long.
45 And when he had news of it from the captain,
he let Joseph have the body.

. my interpretation, but not my original idea,
is that something to do with Jewish custom
precluded letting the crucified labor on the Sabbath,
and a very wealthy Jew simply bribed the captain,
to put the body to rest before the sabbath .

. perhaps the captain did not need to be bribed;
did he not stab jesus
in an attempt to ensure his death?
I understand that the routine for that occasion
was to hack the legs until they were broken .
. whether hacking was a routine or not,
many people have survived stab wounds .
. of course, since it's likely he never died,
there's no reason then
to assume he had risen from the dead
except by concerned "witnesses"
who wanted to keep him hidden .

what it means to believe in the devil

4.20: relig/christian/what it means to believe in the devil:
Penn Jillette said:

"( . people often confuse athiests with satanists,
but, christians are closer to being satanists,
because athiests don't even believe in satan,
while some christians believe they are satan !).

. earlier today[4.20] I heard a psychologist say
(about race relations):

"( until you can admit you have a problem,
the problem can't ever go away ).

. any christians who say they are satan
must be referring to the fact that
it's much easier to be fooled by the devil when
you don't believe it has influence over you .
. if you know it is there, you search:
"( gee, this idea seems to have such good intentions,
but you know HE'll is paved with good intentions!
how am I being used even now? ).

the choking game

4.16: psy/the choking game:
. the news recently said that kids are dying from
losing at playing the choking game;
. as kids, we had a game of hyperventilating
and then holding our breath
while getting another to squeeze us until we felt limp;
that would cause intense dreams on demand .
. later in life I discovered by myself,
something like the choking game, but safer:
with just 2 fingers, you can, by tilting your head back,
find all the arteries in your neck
and completely cut off your brain's oxygen .
. when you do that, getting near passing out
is extremely relaxing .
. it even works while standing or walking
always without falling down, let alone dying!
. I would do that often when obsessed with negativity,
and I wondered if head-banging behaviour
might also be for avoiding negative thoughts;
but I think in their case it was that
the same conditions that cause mental slowness
also create insulin resistance and restlessness
that can be relieved by direct brain stimulation .

plastic first praised as indestructable abused_as_disposable

4.30: news.pol/trash/
plastic praised as indestructable abused as disposable:
. it was said on Fresh Air, that an LA suburb
has a problem with gulls showering them with dump waste .
. when the dump was first started,
there were no houses in the area;
but the dump has grown that much?
perhaps they can't believe that suburban sprawl
would try to compete with dump space .

news:
. the Puente Hills landfill near Los Angeles,
has so much trash
that its natural gas emissions can generate
enough electricity to power 70,000 homes,"
. the author of Garbology stated that
methane gas is not very efficient;
the way to get energy from garbage
is to burn it
using europe's new stack scrubbers;
but the old scrubbers are so notorious
that nobody in the usa trusts them any more .
. plus we found other ways to unload it:
the chinese will recycle our paper
but this very inefficient too because
they are using fuel to ship tons of garbage to china
and then ship tons of paper products right back .
. Terry Gross was perplexed, and quipped:
"( if everyone is happy,
what is there to this Garbology book?!),

. I thought most of this was just another
side attack of the overpopulation issue
but I was truly impressed when it was pointed out
that plastic was originally praised as the
make-anything substance that would last forever,
and then it's most common use becomes
one-night-stand tossable containers!

. the plastic never really decomposes either,
it simply gets smaller (and absorbing more toxins)
until it is eaten by marine life .

think wild alaskan salmon is safe?

5.19: web.health/omega-3/wild salmon:
. in the industries own research
they are happy to give numbers
until the issue of dioxins and pcb's comes up,
for these xenoestrogenic carcinogens,
they claim there is no proof of a problem!
. xenoestrogens are tricky to prove
because such endocrine disruptors
cause cancer in subtle ways,
not seen except in the overall high level
of unexplained cancers .
. and the smallest doses of endocrine disruptors like dioxin
are the worst offenders when it comes to causing cancers .

. wild salmon often has double the dioxin levels of
molecularly distilled fish oil, and {4 .. 8} times the pcb's .
. EPA* suggests limiting alaskan wild salmon to
2..5 meals per month (depending on the species)
-- which is not a lot of omega-3 .

lends weight to the theory that
JC's miraculous cures were actually a political stunt
for spotlighting that most of these "(lame) beggars

due either to mental illness, sexual orientation issues,

. on the diane rheme show,
it was argued that Trayvon's treatment

but Trayvon's case was a horrific instance of
vigilantism by random peer punishment
-- a form of premeditated murder!
. just profiling is not murder
if you don't mix it with Stand Your Ground
in the Middle of the Public Grounds lunacy!

4.20: pol/purges/Trayvon/
standing your ground law encourages dueling:
. the problem with stand your ground
if you're trying to defend Zimmerman with it,
is that the same law was
also defending Trayvon's response:
. don't take "(what are you doing here)
from a stranger in the night;
stand your ground, Trayvon!
. and as Trayvon stood his ground,
he finds a hole in this law:
. when we take the law into our own hands,
we sometimes find the criminal can out-gun us !
. poor, Trayvon, live & learn, my friend;
but at least you tried to stand your ground,
we'll remember you were proud,
a true american .
. anyway, you can see from this,
that the law as it now stands
is actually promoting armed duels in the street !
(back in the day,
the duel was the way 2 men resolved high-stakes disputes:
they would agree on walking away from eachother,
and on a certain count, both would turn around
to shoot their opponent ).

. the repub's might say they want the chinese to
stop manipulating their currency
because it worsens the trade deficit,

thank god .]

[4.15: remember how this started:
. if you're a capitalist looking the world's opportunities,
everything about american employees is overpriced .
. it's not just the labor unions
demanding an equal place at the table;
every single citizen is part of virtual labor union
that is heavily taxing employers
to pay for pensions (social security)
and senior medical care (medicare).
. then if they are competitively expected to
subsidize employee heath insurance,
then they are also subsidizing medicaid
-- tax payers and employers split the bill on that one .
. if, on the other hand,
they can get their employees from out of country,
either by exporting jobs, or importing workers,
then they can pass on that healthcare tab
to other countries who are
not so confused about living standards .
. how are americans acting confused?
they keep defending their right to expand the population,
and they also demand that capitalists or the fed
should be finding them jobs that pay more and more
in order to cover increases in cost of living
that are due primarily to their own population growth .

-  Solar energy being clean is a lie at the moment.
To make solar cells more toxic chemicals are released than even coal.
Plus the size of the area and the amount of cells
to even be equivalent to other energy sources is ridiculous.
Nuclear is the cleanest and most efficient way at the moment.
By the way the comic should say for the solar part
we own the silicon... XD
me:
@Nathan Buth, so who needs solar cells:
wind power alone could supply all our needs;
got some dirt on wind mills?
Mike Rees:
-  It's worth noting that wind turbines are currently 60% subsidised,

They're not clean and they're not cost effective.
me:
@Mike Rees
. it may be true that wind turbines are currently
60% subsidised, and have 75% fossil fuel backup generation;
but that's not wind's problem:
instead of subsidising green energy
we could sin-tax fossil fuels
to make them pay for all the cancer they cause;
and then we could use ethanol or other biofuels
for a less toxic backup generation .
. therefore, clean and price-competitive .

AAP guidelines update #ADHD #med #childcare

4.19: news.med/adhd/AAP guidelines update:

. did you think it was only psychiatrists
who medicated mental illness?
the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics)
started doing so in 2000 .
. back then they were telling all pediatricians
to screen ages 6..12 for adhd
(attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder).
. this was actually a prayed-for improvement;
because, before the diagnosis of adhd,
parents would seek help from psychiatrists,
who would put their kid on anti-aggression drugs
-- the same endocrine-disrupting major tranquilizers
that are given to seriously ill schizophrenics .

In 2011, the AAP updated these guidelines,
now recommending that primary care physicians,
screen ages 4 through 18 for ADHD .
. here's how the adhd stimulants fit in the treatment plan:
"( For preschool-age children,
behavioral interventions are considered first-line therapy.
If resources are unavailable, physicians should
carefully weigh the risks of drug therapy at an early age
with those associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment.

For children aged 6 to 11,
there's combination medication and behavioral therapy .
Evidence for use of stimulants in this age group is strong.
For older children, treatment should begin with medication.
Behavioral therapy may be prescribed,
but data on it in this age group
are not as strong as in younger patients.
Medication for ADHD should be titrated to achieve
maximal benefits with minimal adverse events.
) .
. one problem the "(minimal adverse events) criteria
is that the some of the most notable adverse events
come later;
according to Dr.Breggin,
the use of stimulants will inhibit growth;
and, in households where diet is not conservative,
it can lead to hypertension, and enlarged heart .
. stimulants may increase the risk of
other psychiatric disorders (ocd,
schizophrenia-like disorders,
depression, suicidal ideations).

caveats to prunes preventing osteoporosis #health #osteo

4.5: health/prunes
5.3, 5.4: summary:
. prunes (dried plums) have a dramatic effect on bone growth,
primarily by  [my inference]
increasing parathyroid hormone (PTH)
but prunes also raise IGF-I (insulin-like growth factors)
which increases the risk of cancer .
. plums also have a special sugar, sorbitol,
that enhances calcium absorption
or increases bone metabolism;
but, plums also have a high infammatory index,
due to the sheer quantity of their total sugars;
the plum's sorbitol may reduce bone resorption,
but this is better done with xylitol .
. other ways dried plums can help bones
is their generous serving of boron and vitamin K; [5.9:
but again, there are better sources:
while boron is required by plums,
it seems likely that the prune's boron levels
would depend on how much is in the soil;
therefore, supplements would be a safer bet .
. by far the best sources of vitamin K
are the dark green leafies .]

. a better strategy for bone growth
is to make sure your diet is avoiding growth inhibitors:
bones need IGF sensitivity,
which in turn needs both load-bearing exercise
and proper insulin sensitivity (that entails
a low-glycemic, low-cortisol diet).

. cortisol is raised by low blood sugar
(the usual reason sugar gets low is when a diet has
too many simple sugars and grains,
and then the insulin response over-reacts
which swings sugar from too high to too low).
. cortisol is also caused by chronic stress, or lack of sleep .

. lowering cortisol is the most dramatic way to
increase insulin sensitivity,
which is critical to bone growth because,
if your cell's can't hear the insulin calling,
they are also deaf to the other growth factors
(also known as anabolics); these include
GH (growth hormone),
IGF (insulin-like growth hormone),
and PTH(parathyroid hormone).
. along with using a low-glycemic diet,
cortisol can be further lowered by supplements:
the combination of arginine and lysine .

. other ways to increase insulin sensitivity include
load-bearing exercise and supplements:
magnesium, alph lipoic acid, L-carnitine, taurine, L-arginine,
chromium, coenzyme Q10, silymarin, Inula racemosa ... .

. perhaps there could be safety by cycling the IGF?
the usual diet should be low-glycemic,
and include herbs that lower IGF;
but every couple days,
take your prunes before and after bone training
(weightlifting or squats, pushups, etc).]

. the usual form of vitamin D
promotes bone resorption,
which is good for healthy bone turn-over,
but the needed rebuilding after resorption
will only happen if one is not resistant to anabolics .

link between alz and sugar may be cholesterol

 link between alz and sugar may be cholesterol:
4.13, 4.17: summary:
. when alzheimers was reported to be a clumping of protein
and related to diabetes,
I had assumed it was a glycation problem,
but here is evidence that cholesterol is implicated
by way of reducing leptin levels
which apparently is what prevents the formation of amyloid-β
and the occurrence of phosphorylated tau .
. the way it all ties together is that
cholesterol is elevated by sugary diet,
and a sugary diet is a leading cause of diabetes
(see the theory and results of an epi'study).

I was surprised to hear that Olympic Weightlifting
had the unique ability to develop
an athletes’ explosive power,
but I could definitely agree with the other parts:
control of external objects,
and mastery of critical motor recruitment patterns;
as for increasing maximum oxygen uptake,
I had no idea that Olympic lifts
are the only lifts shown to do that .
