Helpful info. Fοrtunate me Ӏ found your web site
by accident, and I'm shocked why this coincidence did not took place in advance!
I bookmarked it.
is the support still available? if it is reply the number for sweden because my account is hacked/scammed during a fake license transfer… :'(
I got a response from using this number thanks.
If it's not, then you should choose a free online game that does fit your hardware.
A video game tester, because they know what it takes for a game to be
fun. It is so much fun to get behind the wheel
of a car and race other cars, do tricks, jump over hills and other things, and basically drive like you
never would in real life.

As some people probably noticed I tweeted last week about having a job interview. While I do like my job, I occasionally check job postings to see what is out there. Well the other day I had been browsing through CraigsList job postings when I came across one for a Mac Operator. At the time I wasn't sure what the job was, but the ad said it provided full training, all they wanted was someone with experience in the Apple OS and Adobe Software. So I applied and I got called in for an interview last Wednesday.
I went in and found out that what I would be doing is working in the Art Department of a production plant on a Mac, loading company logo's onto templates in illustrator, checking them for accuracy, and then sending them to the production floor for printing on things like keychains, luggage tags, coin purses, etc. Needless to say I was stoked. The interview took about an hour, and at the end they told me I should hear from them by the end of the week. I got home and not even 2 hours later I got a call offering me the position!
I am so excited for so many reasons about this. While I don't mind working in retail, I despise the hours, and holidays, and mean customers. Going back to working in an office monday through friday is what I've been hoping for. I want to be home every night to cook dinner. I want to know that I have holidays off with my family. I want to know what my schedule is every week, so that I can have a schedule for myself at home.
My last day at Piercing Pagoda will be May 27th, and I should start at my new job the following week I believe. I'm so excited about this, I can't wait!

Here's a blog post written by a freshman in the Glee Club, Grace Castillo. Read it below!
Even though it had been snowing all day, Woolsey hall was nearly filled on Saturday night. Friends, relatives, and community members were all waiting to hear Johannes Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem. The Glee Club had already performed the piece on our recent tour to Spain, and we were all especially excited to sing it back in our familiar Woolsey Hall with the wonderful supers (alternates), and the YSO.
As we waited backstage, half of the group on the staircase, our tuxes and dresses rustling, I thought ahead to the piece we were about to perform. We had worked hard on each of the seven movements during the last few months in rehearsals, and I was eager to finally share it with the wider Yale community. More than anything though, I was excited to have my relatives, who were sitting in the first balcony, hear the group that had been such a big part of my freshman year.
As we filed onto the risers, I thought back to all of the times that people—Jeff and many members of the Glee Club— had reiterated that Brahms' requiem was as much for the living as it was for the dead. It was a thought that stayed with me from the first to the last 'selig.' We created the music as a group, and I had come to consider the members of the Glee Club no longer as friendly acquaintances but as dear friends. This feeling of cohesion, combined with the presence of my loved ones in the audience, amplified not only my enjoyment of the music, but also its message of togetherness and a shared human experience. Though it probably comes across as cheesy, I mean it in an earnest and heartfelt way—the Brahms Requiem encompasses not just the beauty of music, but the reason we perform any music at all.
After the concert reached its close, groups of friends and family members congratulated one another on a job well done. The post-concert excitement assured me that things couldn't have gone any better, and once again reminded me of how happy I am to be in a group like YGC. My grandparents told me that they'd loved the concert (I believed them, even though saying such things is an important part of their job as grandparents), and we headed to the reception.
Until next time!

Extract of sample
"In finance, risk is best judged in a portfolio context." Is this true? Why
In such a case, if one project fails, the amount lost will be partially covered by the other project that succeeds. That way, one avoids losing all his or her money in one project. Investing in several projects to reduce the level of risk is referred to as spreading portfolio. Therefore, the term portfolio can be defined as a collection of investments that are held by an individual or by a company (Brealey, Myers & Allen, 2011). It is not easy to judge risk from a single investment. One investment may fail or it may succeed. There are a number of factors that contribute to the failure or success of a project such as the prevailing economic conditions, the type of project one has invested in, the geographical area where the project is established among others. Therefore, for one to correctly judge the risk in a certain area it is important to judge from a portfolio. This is especially applicable in the stock market. This essay gives a discussion in support of the statement "In finance, risk is best judged in a portfolio context". Risk and return Every investor is usually concerned with the return associated with the project they invest in. Return is not realized immediately after investing, one has to wait for some time. Hence return is a future function (Brealey, Myers & Allen, 2011). The future is not always clear. ...

Investing on the stock market can be a very risky venture. According to Yavas (2007), both the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and the Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) indicates that investors should hold a well diversified portfolio in order to reduce risk. Beta is used to measure risk. A stocks beta indicates the sensitivity of the stock's returns to the market returns (Madura 2006, p. 304). Madura (2006, p. 304) states that investors who have a diversified portfolio use beta to determine how well their portfolio reflects movements in the market. Investors believe that favourable...

87). This uncertainty about future value of the assets makes it dangerous for the investors to put all their resources in a single investment opportunity no matter how lucrative it may seem to be. Therefore, it is preferable to spread resources in a collection of stocks as a precaution against total loss of investment due to unpredictable loss. Investors set their investment goals of maximizing their earnings and stabilizing their income from increase in value of their assets between the time of making investment and future period when they anticipate their portfolio to mature (Enrica 2012,...

A Pastor and His Wife Joyfully Celebrate Christmas
By Greg Miller © 2016
Pastor Paul was busy preparing his Christmas Day message.
"Lord," he prayed, "Please help me to powerfully tell the story of Jesus' birth."
"I'll anoint you with the power of the Holy Spirit," the Lord replied.
Pastor Paul and his wife, Pamela, discussed exchanging gifts with each other. "What would you like for Christmas this year?" asked Pastor Paul.
"I would like to eat dinner on Christmas Eve at our favorite restaurant."
"Then we have a date," Pastor Paul beamed.
"What do you want for Christmas, Paul?"
"Nothing, honey. Jesus is the reason for the season. If I have Him, I have everything."
After they finished eating their Christmas Eve dinner together, Pastor Paul handed an envelope to Pamela. The envelope contained a handwritten copy of Matthew chapter two, verses 1-11.
Here's part of Matthew's account: "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
"Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
"When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."
"The sermon will be short," said Pastor Paul. "I'm just going to read the stories directly from Scripture with no added commentary. I figure since the Bible says it all, there's no need for me to say anything else!"

|Re: Logging-Log4j -> SVN
|Mon, 12 Sep 2005 03:25:02 GMT
log4cxx: I haven't completed my due diligence builds, but the layout looked okay. logging-site (aka site): The branches should be migrated. An attempt to rebuild a particular version of log4j requires the corresponding state of the site logging- site repository. There doesn't appear to have been a tag established for v1_2_12 in the CVS. log4j and sandbox: The log4j repository has several directories (contribs and log4jMini) that I expected to be shifted to the sandbox. I don't know if the intent was to rearrange these after the import was complete. I could not determine if all the Logging Services CVS were combined into one single SVN repo. If so, then it should be possible to move contribs and log4jMini from logging/log4j over to logging/sandbox after migration. However, if each CVS module was mapped to a distinct repo, then moving the files would be much more complicated. Since I could see that there might be some migration of things between the sandbox and the products, then a single SVN repo for LS may be preferred. The directory structure in sandbox (branches, tags and root as immediate children of sandbox) would be appropriate if "sandbox" were a single project. I think it would be more appropriate to have a multi-project organization where each sandbox effort had its own trunk, tags and branches. I think after the initial load sandbox should look something like: sandbox/ log4j/ contribs/ (from logging-log4j/contribs) branches/ tags/ trunk/ mini (from logging-log4j/log4jMini) branches/ tags/ trunk/ sandbox/ (from logging-sandbox) branches/ tags/ trunk/ I don't care if that is accomplished by migrating everything in its current structure and then moving things around shortly after initial import. I also don't feel it is essential to preserve the tags and branches for contribs and mini if that is difficult.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
I've celebrated the goodness of dairy fat quite enthusiastically in recent weeks. If you were just joining us, you might have gotten the wrong impression that you'd stumbled into a PR wing of the dairy industry, and that the streets of Mark's Dairy Apple run whitish-yellow with grass-fed milk fat. No, children aren't busting open fire hydrants on warm days to dance around in the effervescent spray of kefir, and on winter days it doesn't rain milk and snow globs of thick Greek yogurt in these parts.
I'm well aware of the darker side to dairy, and today I'll be exploring the common arguments against dairy consumption. Let's jump right in:
True, but the evolutionary argument cannot prove the suitability or unsuitability of a food – it can only generate hypotheses that we can then test or research. The same goes for grain consumption, nighttime artificial light exposure, sedentary living, or any other evolutionary novel activity. It has to be tested.
Takeaway? The relative newness of dairy in the human diet definitely raises concerns about its healthfulness, but it's not a resounding argument in and of itself.
It does seem a bit weird. That's mankind, though: we do weird things that no other animal could ever conceive of doing. That's what makes us the top of the food chain. We're smart and dominant enough to impose our will on nature. It gets us into trouble – see industrial agriculture and artificial trans-fats – but it also improves our station – see the decision of hominids three million years ago to "see how this dead herbivore flesh tastes." Like the previous argument, this one can only raise hypotheses.
Takeaway? Our species' departure from, or modification of mammalian norms isn't always bad. Or good. The specifics matter.
It's true, it does. Both the lactose and dairy proteins exert an insulinogenic effect that when taken in concert rival that of many carbohydrate sources. I actually covered this topic in a post several years ago and found that acute dairy-induced spikes of insulin don't seem to be related to body fat gain or insulin resistance in healthy people, and that the studies showing a connection between dairy and insulin resistance used skim or low-fat milk, rather than whole. And in athletes trying to recover from training, these insulin spikes may actually promote recovery. Hyperinsulinemia, where insulin is chronically elevated, is another story. If you're already insulin-resistant, dairy could be problematic.
Takeaway? Dairy's insulinogenic effect is good for some groups (lean, insulin-sensitive, athletes or trainees looking for muscle recovery), bad for others (insulin-resistant). Context is important.
Betacellulin is a growth factor found in whey that plays an important role in infant growth. In some in vitro studies, isolated betacellulin has been shown to contribute toward the growth of cancer cells. Chris Masterjohn takes apart this argument fairly well, explaining how similar in vitro studies that incorporate conjugated linoleic acid (a trans-fatty acid especially abundant in pastured dairy fat) show that CLA has an inhibitory effect on the promotion of cancer by betacellulin; how most epidemiological studies show no relationship between commercial milk and cancer; how some only support a relationship between low-fat dairy and ovarian and prostate cancer, but not high-fat dairy; and how whole fat milk is actually associated with a lower risk of colorectal cancer.
Takeaway? If betacellulin has cancer-promoting tendencies, it's probably only when isolated from protective dairy compounds such as CLA and saturated fat. Stick to full-fat, pastured dairy.
Loren Cordain and Pedro Bastos (with a couple other collaborators) released a very interesting paper in which they suggest that rather than being just food, milk is an "endocrine signaling system" whose various components – particularly the proteins – are meant to stimulate hormonally-driven growth in a "species-specific" manner. So human breast milk is perfect for how human babies are supposed to grow and tissue differentiate, cow milk is ideal for calf growth, goat milk for kid growth, and so on. Milk proteins stimulate growth by activating the mTOR pathway and stimulating IGF-1 release. Cordain and Bastos link dairy-induced mTOR activation and IGF-1 release with prostate cancer, citing in vitro and epidemiological evidence that milk consumption during certain developmental phases (prenatal, immediately postnatal, and adolescence) can predispose developing prostates to cancer later in life.
More generally, IGF-1 is a growth promoter which is elevated in childhood – because that's when people are growing at a fairly steady rate – and in certain types of cancer – because that's another kind of growth, only unwanted. Since dairy protein consumption is pretty consistently linked to increased IGF-1, it's easy to assume that dairy can increase cancer risk. Good for growing bodies, bad for growing cancer cells.
So, people with cancer or at risk of cancer should avoid dairy, right? I'm not sure. This study found that a whey protein supplement actually increased the vulnerability of cancer cells to chemotherapy among patients with carcinoma. Another study identified several potential roles for milk proteins in cancer prevention. And there's the classic tale of Campbell's rats, where high-casein diets were protective against the development of aflatoxin-induced cancer but increased cancer progression once initiated.
Plus, the mTOR pathway is also where muscle growth happens, which may be why GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) is a popular tactic for strength trainees.
Takeaway? Dairy is a growth promoter, which can be good (muscle) or potentially bad (cancer, particularly prostate when consumed at certain developmental stages). It's unclear if dairy actually promotes tumorigenesis or promotes growth only once the cancer has been established – or neither.
For years, I've heard that "dairy is designed to increase intestinal permeability." After all, infants need a bit of a leaky gut to allow absorption of large things like colostrum. It would make sense for milk to increase permeability so this could happen. But it turns out that infant guts are innately permeable, not permeable because of dairy. If anything, it looks like dairy might actually make guts less permeable. I didn't find any human research to this effect, but I did find some interesting studies with surprising results:
Hydrolyzed casein restored intestinal barrier function and prevented diabetes in a diabetes-prone rat. A later study confirmed these results. A specific casein peptide was also shown to reduce intestinal permeability in another study, and beta-lactoglobulin (another protein component of dairy) had similar effects on intestinal tight junction function. And finally, a component of whey has also been shown to reinforce tight junction integrity.
Yeah, I was surprised too.
That doesn't mean there aren't connections, even causal, between dairy consumption and autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes, but the presence of leaky gut may be a prerequisite. This would jibe with the observations that people with type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases sometimes linked to dairy intake have higher intestinal permeability.
Takeaway? Although these were either rodent or in vitro studies using isolated components of dairy, it seems like the evidence points toward dairy upholding intestinal integrity, if anything. Given existing permeability, dairy proteins can slip through and obviously cause problems, but I'm unaware of evidence showing they increase leaky gut or autoimmune disease on their own absent intestinal permeability.
I've always been skeptical of this one because using the same criteria, meat also has a high acid load on the body. Should we forgo eating meat, which has been shown to improve bone mineral density? Plus, one recent study found that dairy doesn't actually make the body acidic. Milk and dairy products "neither produce acid upon metabolism nor cause metabolic acidosis." Further, dairy is a good source of calcium and – particularly in the case of gouda cheese – vitamin K2, both important co-factors in bone metabolism.
Takeaway? Dairy consumption may not ensure or be necessary for good bone health, but it doesn't seem to negatively impact it.
Since a common practice nowadays is the milking of pregnant cows in order to maximize production and estrogen goes up during pregnancy, it seems reasonable to expect elevated levels of estrogen in dairy. Most studies I came across found that some estrogen is present in dairy, with skim milk containing the most bioavailable form of estrogen (conjugated estrogen, the same kind used in oral hormone replacement therapy). For the most part, the amount of active estrogen found in dairy seems too low for physiological relevance. We have too much already in circulation for it to be impacted by dietary sources, some of which will be nullified by digestion.
Dairy proteins can certainly increase IGF-1 (as shown previously) in people, but it's unclear whether the actual IGF-1 found in dairy has an effect on serum levels. If you're worried about IGF-1, fermentation takes care of most of it. Stick to fermented dairy like yogurt, kefir, or cheese (which already has health benefits over regular unfermented dairy).
Takeaway? Hormone levels in dairy vary according to production method, pregnancy status of the animal being milked, and chance. For the most part, the amount of hormones in dairy pales in comparison to the endogenous amounts circulating in our bodies at any given time, so even if we had the leakiest gut in the world and everything we ate was absorbed directly into our blood, it would likely have minimal impact on our hormone levels.
Among food-sensitive acne sufferers, dairy is probably the most commonly reported offender. Indeed, recent studies suggest a connection between skim milk consumption and acne in teenage boys (less so for whole milk) and in girls. Researcher Bodo Melnik points the finger at the mTOR/IGF-1 activating qualities of dairy (and the Western diet at large) as the culprit. It's a compelling line of argument.
However, one recent study found that fermented dairy enhanced with lactoferrin reduced the incidence of acne, suggesting that dairy isn't always antithetical to skin health. Raw dairy might work better than pasteurized dairy, since pasteurization destroys the natural lactoferrin content of milk.
Takeaway? Dairy is a common aggravator of acne and is worth removing or avoiding if you have it.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients do seem to produce antibodies to bovine serum albumin, and one case study found that an RA patient achieved relief with cessation of milk consumption and saw symptoms return with resumption. Still, another more recent paper found that BSA antibodies weren't associated with disease progression or activity (flare-ups) in rheumatoid arthritis, so it's still theoretical. I would imagine that the problem (if extant) is exacerbated by the presence of leaky gut.
Takeaway? Seems worrisome enough that people with RA might try avoiding dairy, at least as a trial to see how it affects their symptoms. One confounder is that bovine serum albumin is also found in beef muscle meat. RA patients who are reading this: do you notice problems with beef?
Overall, it appears that dairy has both benefits and risks, and that where you fall depends on several factors, like gut health, insulin sensitivity, activity level, age, as well as the quality and form of the dairy (which though I didn't really get into are implicit when discussing dairy). In other words, it's extremely variable and personal.
What do you think, folks? Any other anti-dairy arguments out there? Let me know in the comment section!

184 Comments on "10 Common Arguments Against Dairy Consumption Explored"
I once read in a book about food sensitivities that a way to test yourself was to consume half a liter upon waking up and not consume anything else (liquid or solid) for up to three hours and pay close attention to yourself (gurgling sounds in the stomach eg can already indicate intolerance) in that time.
I did that and felt absolutely fine, so I don't worry too much about dairy
You can check and see if you are sensitive to any food by doing a pulse check.
Check and record your heart rate for 60 seconds, then put the food in your mouth and keep it there. Check and record it for 60 seconds with the item in question in your mouth.
The rule of thumb is, if its about 13 or more beats per min than without, you should take not it may be something you have sensitivity too.
Better to do it more than once for consistency, and try it throughout different times of the day too.
I don't need to test myself. Dairy consistently and significantly stuffs up my sinuses. It's not worth it.
I don't worry too much about dairy either. Most Northern Europeans adapted to drinking milk years ago. I could honestly care less if we're the only species who drinks another mammal's milk and I think that's a stupid argument. We're also the only species to drive cars, smoke, and drink alcohol and look where that gets us.
Turns out that history supports the notion that certain ancient peoples did in fact drink milk at all ages and it was a biological adaption that served as a hedge against losses of other food sources:
When I was diagnosed with scleroderma I went on an elimination diet as part of trying to heal a leaky gut. When I introduced dairy back in I found I reacted to it one of the major issues was being very itchy I would scratch but it made no difference, but there is no issue with my stomach, a dairy allergy can affect you in many different was (itching headaches stomach pains etc) it just depends on the person I wouldn't rely on gurgling noises, there are sites where you can look up the common allergy symptoms.
Hi Trish, I have itching associated with psoriasis. I've given up milk, cream and unclarified butter, but have kept in hard cheeses like old cheddar and parmesan in fairly small quantities. I haven't found full relief yet, so I was wondering if you had to give up 'all' dairy products to overcome the itchy skin. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide…
Hi, Trish. Thanks for sharing that. I've never heard of anyone having the itching before, except me! I also have scleroderma. I use goat dairy now, which has never been a problem for me. It's been 4 years now that I've been primal in my diet, and I no longer itch with cow dairy (gut healing?), but it makes my joints ache; so, I still avoid it. Best of luck to you.
I've eliminated milk several times for a Whole30. I've never saw a problem when adding it back in but I'm always surprised and the amount of people that have issues and don't know about it. I don't consume much dairy anymore but when I do it is high quality, high fat.
I think people need to spend more time listening to their body…I mean really listen, as in elliminate and reintroduce. It isn't fun but it's the only way you'll really know the true anwser.
Great answer! So true – but definitely easier said than done at times.
I had the same experience. Getting rid of dairy cleared up most of my respiratory allergy symptoms and ditching the allergy shots cleared up the rest. Hmmm. When I told my doctor, he said he'd heard of it, but that it was extremely rare.
Not that rare, I could find a few cases from here.
On the argument that Grok didn't drink milk – yes he did, he was a mammal.
All Groks drank milk as infants, also it was being drunk around them later on. This puts dairy in a different category from chemicals that didn't exist or foods Grok didn't know existed.
I too had chronic sinus problems until I gave up dairy. No problems since — no more neti pot!
Interesting how we all differ, those symptoms were from wheat consumption for me. Once I stopped that they went away. However, my younger sister had those symptoms and they were caused by dairy for her.
My sinus' hurt every morning until I got rid of the wheat (all grains) and they only hurt due to cold temps.
I'm just thinking…I wonder what the cows are fed that the milk comes from? I can drink milk by the gallon with no harmful effects I love the stuff but the milk (fullfat) I drink is from a grassfed organic dairy, I am wondering if those who have the resp/sinus issues are drinking milk from cows fed a grain/soy diet? perhaps it would be worth trying milk from another source.
Raw milk is the answer. I never ever liked drinking milk growing up and into my 20s, 30s, or 40s, because of the phlegm and coughing fits I'd get into, and the ear drainage, and I seemed to generally not feel good, and I was often ill with upper respiratory things. Once I began drinking raw milk about 10 months ago, I have never had these issues, not one time. In fact, my daily allergy symptoms GO AWAY for approximately 4 hours when drinking raw milk. The fats in raw milk are so good for us.
You could moo-ely discuss it until the cows come home!
Dairy protein, even in small quantities, makes me constipated. Removing dairy from my diet did wonders for my digestion. I've experimented with this repeatedly, and the improvements are dramatic.
Same here. Even the tiniest amount does it.
And it doesn't matter whether it's raw, pasteurized, ultra-pasteurized, fermented, curdled, whatever. All give me the same result.
Melissa, Glad to find someone else with the same problem! Yes, even full-fat, raw-milk, grass-fed dairy from Jersey (A2) cows does it to me. And full-fat, raw-milk dairy from goats. And butter and cream (though to a slightly lesser extent). Breath, mucus, skin and weight are also better with no dairy.
Dairy doesn't cause me any problems. Except financial ones.
that's funny. i use milk as a laxative. only thing i tolerate is butter and gouda. full fat yoghurt sometimes. gave up even cream for the same reason. within ten minutes after consumption i am filling the bowl. they can shut all the drugstores now, i am fine 🙂
I can guarantee you if you have a problem with dairy being the culprit for your constipation, and you tried raw milk for a few days straight, you would not believe the results. I know children who have been switched over to raw milk for this very reason and it has done true wonders for them.
Really good point. It seems funny I've never heard anyone point that out before. Other animals do like milk from different species, at least the domesticated ones.
Most cats and dogs are actually lactose intolerant. While I'm sure they'll go after the mammary glands, they are left with some super stinky farts and diarrhea! Feed your cat or dog some milk and you'll see er smell! 🙂
Hmm, I give my two dogs milk from my goats everyday, with no noticeable effects… They absolutely love it and now love the goat who gives it.
My dogs and cats all got some cows milk, ( cats 1/2 and 1/2) no gas or other similar issues.
I believe that any animal, humans included, become lactose intolerant after a long period of not drinking milk. You lose the enzymes for it, and by re-introducing dairy slowly to your diet, you can get the enzymes back.
I feel the same thing happens with wheat. Before going paleo, wheat gave me mild discomfort. After months of not eating it at all, the rare late night slice of pizza absolutely wrecks my stomach.
Ha! I have never met a dog who didn't LOVE cheese.
I love cheese but as Dusti wrote, "super stinky farts and diarrhea" result, as well as sinus congestion.
Agreed. I use stinky cheese to train difficult tricks with dogs because they REALLY want to get it right!
Female animals will nurse other species' babies–it's survival. There are countless accounts of dogs nursing orphan kittens, cats nursing baby squirrels, even a deer nursing a baby pig! I saw a pic of a mother dog nursing a baby skunk right along with her pups.
Survival of the species is where it's at.
I agree about barn cats, and orphaned animals will drink another species' milk if given the opportunity. It's not a first choice, but it is a survival option.
Adult cats and dogs are very happy to get milk. Not saying it's good for them, but they will all drink it.
They eat whatever smells good to them…carrion, milk, garbage, whatever!
I agree. Humans are very industrious, & I don't necessarily buy the idea that humans never used to consume cow's…milk. I think humans ate or drank whatever they could get their hands on. I may not have been common, but Its not hard to imagine Grok going for another mammal's milk when the opportunity presented itself.
yep it's all about opposable thumbs when it comes to milking a cow 🙂
I heard about blue tits in Britian that would go after cream in times of doorstep milk delivery. Apparently they found a way to remove the cap from the bottle and drink the cream that would gather on top (not the milk, which would cause diarrhoea)
My chickens, as well as my cat and dog, will drink milk. My family and I have been consuming raw, unhomogenized full fat milk for years, we love it and are all very healthy.
What the FDA says about raw milk does not concern me, they are bought and sold by Big Ag these days.
According to the Weston Price foundation, there have been doctors in the past who reccomend raw milk diets to heal patients of certain diseases.
To be fair, humans were drinking milk before grocery stores were around. Prolly has more to do with the fact that we're the only species that can physically milk another animal.
Humans nurse when young, then lactase gene shuts off.
The default mode of humans is "lactose intolerant". Actually the normal state of being.
I often wonder about dairy so I appreciated reading this post. The strongest argument I always felt against it was that no other animals drink other animal's milk. I love the way that is addressed here– evolution is NOT enough of a reason to do or not to do something…things must be tested and evaluated, not just at the level of scientists, but individuals also. Me? I love me some milk and don't see whole milk lattes disappearing anytime soon…YOLO
Raw milk is a healthfood!
Grocery store pasteurized homogenized milk… total garbage. Stay away from it.
While I think raw milk sure is good. the current raw milk worship on the net is rather romanticized. Think about it, for thousands of years in the cold climate, people always heat their milk before drink it. They only occasionally drink the warm milk right out of the cow. They stored the milk and heat it later to drink. I wouldn't say that is necessarily good, but thousand years of human activity shouldn't disregard simply because we modern men have all the knowledge, we definitely know better. A lot of the time, we don't.
I'm happy to hear some push back on the raw milk issue. My jaw is still on the floor after it was recommended for infants on this blog two days ago. There is real risk involved. After all pasturization was not invented as a government conspiracy to decrease our nutrition or line the pockets of big agriculture. It was a breakthrough in public heath that has saved countless lives. Some health benefits were likely lost as a consequence, but in my opinion that is a small price to pay.
Please read, The Untold Story of Milk, by Dr. Ron Schmid to gain a full understanding on this topic. You are uninformed on many of the historical aspects surrounding this topic….Thanks!

I meant to reply to this comment not the one beneath it, even though it seems it could apply to both of these comments…sorry for the error
I am new to commenting in this format. I was trying to reply to Kristina with my first comment and my second was directed towards JMH. Apologies!
I also want to note, if you have the option of slow pasteurization and don't want to risk raw, that's the better option. It still has some harmless organisms in it, but any potentially harmful ones should be dead. It goes bad faster than the ultra-pasteurizing that kills EVERYTHING and there for extends shelf life.
Fact: I don't trust the FDA! $$$$$$$
How about the CDC? You know, the agency that tracks outbreaks of infectious diseases?
get your raw milk, boil it shortly and enjoy. who said you need to drink it raw? point is to drink an unprocessed product, not processed industrially by removing vital nutrients and adding back synthetic vitamins, sugar and whoknowswhatelse.
Sources, please.
It's not a "fact" that raw milk is 150x more likely to make you sick. It is, however, a fact that the FDA made that statement. Chris Kresser looked at it further here, and came up with the number 9.4 times, using the available data – http://chriskresser.com/raw-milk-reality-is-raw-milk-dangerous
$120 for that info……LAME!
Sorry $304 for everything, even more LAME!
I was hoping you would mention the anti-dairy argument regarding the opioid peptide, casomorphine, and its link with autism. I would love to hear your ideas on this argument and whether a GF/CF free diet is beneficial for autistic children.
Gut flora (GAPS diet)
Great comprehensive review. We only consume raw milk, primarily as kefir and yogurt, but I have taken to drinking more of it because it tastes so good. Not sure how much data there is out there, but I would love to see a blog on the benefits of raw vs. pasteurized milk. I think they are huge. Not only does pasteurization kill all the good enzymes and beneficial bacteria but homogenization destroys the much of the goodness as well.
We have been drinking raw milk for over a year. We have even done a few milk fasts. My husband has diabetes and the raw milk does not spike blood sugar – just the opposite, it causes blood sugar to go down to point of adjusting medication. He has lost weight and overall health is better. There is a wealth of info on benefits of raw milk, including a book written by a medical doctor – the raw truth about milk by Douglas.
I was surprised Mark didn't bring up the allergy connection. I am doing a Whole30 starting January 1 and I am very curious to see if removing dairy helps with my allergies. I have been eating a lot of cheese and other dairy products over the holidays and it seems my allergy symptoms have increased.

How do we know Grok did not drink milk? It seems more than plausible to me that pregnant animals were killed or found dead, probably every year. And hunter-gatherers seem to consume everything else in the animal…
Pregnant animal don't lactate, silly goof, only after they give birth do they start. I'm sure there were plenty of postnatal kills though. Although if Grok were smart he would leave nursing animals alone, unless he was starving… you know ensure more for the future!
As I cut sugar and grain out of my diet, I became much more sensitive to what was making me feel bad. (Sugar and grain being the chief ones, so they were covering up sensitivity to everything else.) I've recently come to the conclusion that the milk in my Starbucks lattes give me an upset stomach, but that if I instead order an Americano with room (basically, a strong coffee, made with espresso and water…which I get because the actual COFFEE at Starbucks is AWFUL) and then add half-and-half from their pitcher, it does not make me ill.
I'm hoping they will start blending in GF butter to their coffee. I was there the other day and asked for heavy cream, they have it and gave be some in my coffee, almost as good as butter I guess.
And someone further down the thread dropped the actual word.
Breve. Darnit. Now I'm filled with even more shame. I shall bury my black apron in the ground… when the snow melts… to atone.
Oh Sbux, how I have forsaken you…
Also, technically, you *can* get whipping cream in your latte, but the baristas really don't like that, unless you're really nice to them, because they're not sure how to charge it and it's hard to steam without accidentally making butter. But they will top up your Americano with it, if you remember to ask.
Making it into butter would be fine….a buckys bulletproof coffee hack.
As a former barista, I can say that it's not that difficult. Most coffee shops have a standard upcharge for a milk sub. Steaming heavy cream is…different, but there is no chance of it turning into butter. Butter is created by churning, not by steaming.
It's a "breve."
what type of milk does Starbucks use? is it full fat organic from grassfed cows??? probably not
Where do the beans come from, how are they grown, who, gets the money, what habitats are being destroyed?
a while ago i asked to see the label for their cream and it had carrageenan in it which gives me a major headache. same with other gums.
I've had significant relief from intestinal problems and sinus issues after ridding all forms of dairy from my diet. I wish I wasn't intolerant to casein and lactose, 'cuz I would be killing me some raw yogurt, kefir, heavy cream, quality cheeses… ugh. Instead, I just consume a ton of coconut products to ease the emotional pain.
I haven't had milk for almost 2 years, but I can't give up my almost nightly ice cream ritual 🙂
I definitely have less mucus build up and less colds.
I hear you! I finally found a good barista who told me what I wanted was a breve, which is a latte made with half and half. It's not on the menu at a lot of coffee shops, but I've never had a problem getting one if I specifically asked for it. I love my breves!
Oh god, thank you. Breve. Now I have to go back up to my other comment, in shame, and addendum my remarks about the B lattes.
I need to find my black apron and return it in shame, apparently. *laugh*
What about lactose-free milk? Does it help with the insulin issues?
No, because lactose-free milk just introduces bacteria which converts the lactose into better digestible sugars. There's just as much sugar, it's just a different kind.
Increased growth = increased GAINS
There is also a difference between bovine, ovine, goat, camel, etc..milks A1 vs A2 milk consumption. While other mammals don't drink milk past a certain age, put a cup of raw milk or cream in a dog or cat bowl and watch them go to town on it. They are not drinking the milk from a logical scientific perspective.
I no longer consume milk because I find I have no use for it (on cereal, etc.). Full-fat cottage cheese and aged cheeses? Heck yes – easy protein in the morning or when I need an afternoon snack. No issues, digestive or otherwise.
I agree with Emelee's comment regarding other animals; they most certainly WOULD drink milk if they could get it, the cat example being perfect.
Other animals do in fact drink milk when they kill the lactating animals. Bears in particular are particularly bad and have been known to kill many sheep in one night doing nothing more than eat the udders of the ewes nursing lambs. Mountain lions will also preferentially eat the udders of lactating prey species first.
Cats are also very happy to drink cow's milk from a bowl or even from a cow being milked. And, just leave a glass of milk on the floor with a dog nearby. We know most omnivores or carnivores will eat eggs. I suspect most would drink milk if available.
When I consume too much dairy my face breaks out, my nose gets congested, my pms symptoms worsen, my joints ache (mainly my hands) and I am more prone to migraines. Shame is I love dairy so I tried raw milk but all the symptoms were worse.
Same exact symptoms as me! Except my knees and shoulders are the things that ache, not my hands.
(Possible TMI alert!!!)
One of my pms symptoms is REALLY tender/swollen breasts, and this gets wayyy more severe with dairy. It bothers me a lot, but my boyfriend doesn't seem to mind…
I can do a little dairy though, without too many issues. I drink a little kefir a few times a week, have half n half in my coffee every day, and cheese or ice cream as a treat every once in a while (like once a month).
Oh, I forgot to say, any dairy I do have HAS to be organic, otherwise the symptoms will happen full-force from just the tiniest bit of the stuff!
All I know is that I soon as I gave up dairy ( was only doing grass fed butter and cream) I lost 20 pounds of fat. Without changing anything and I would say I've even increased my fats from coconut. So yea, I'm sensitive to dairy. I do miss my butter.
That was my experience, too. I've tried adding dairy back to my diet about 3-4 times and each time, I gain weight rapidly. Once I eliminate dairy again, the weight falls off.
Me too! I cut the dairy (ALL dairy) and lost 10 pounds over 3 months (so far). Weight loss occurred even though I was probably consuming the same, if not more, calories, and I was not exercising. I love dairy, but I love losing weight (without effort, except avoiding dairy and other problem foods) even more.
I was already eating a gluten-free diet low-ish in carbs and no legumes.
As an archaeologist, the whole 10k years ago cut off thing is pretty arbitrary. There could have been a single Grok keep a single cow 50k years or 350k years before hand. Perhaps thought of as an odd ball at the time. The 10k number is when agriculture and animal husbandry became "common" rather than what individuals had been doing for thousands of years. Its not like they kept records.
Looking at the health of the Masai people when following their traditional diet it is hard to believe that (raw) milk is unhealthy. If you want to learn more about milk, I highly recommend Ron Schmid's book " The Untold Story of Milk".
I have dairy almost daily
Greek yogurt mixed with nuts, coconut oil, etc
Also full fat cheeses (danish blue cheese with red wine ahhhhh!)
Butter is a dear friend
It's been a loooong time since I had the last glass of milk
I did the experiment of stop all dairy for two weeks, to see if there was some effect.
After the two weeks I did not notice any changes in my weight, energy levels, etc
So my diagnostic for myself is that I am OK with dairy
Two other major factors with dairy are A1 vs A2 beta casein, and pasteurization. Most people have a host of problems with pasteurized and/or A1 milk, while very few experience any negative issues consuming raw A2. They are completely different foods. One is poison and the other a life enhancing gift.
I personally know of many people, myself included, who cannot drink pasteurized dairy without experiencing illness symptoms. On the other hand, I feel and perform better when I drink raw goat milk.
If an animal in the wild was to kill another animal (which happened to be lactating) wouldn't they eat the entire animal, including the milk?
Thank you! I am a wanna be vegan! But, the only way I get or stay at a healthy weight is lo carb. I really appreciate primal. I really don't like meat that much and I'm on the go a lot, so my cheese and fage are so important to me! I also love cream in my coffee. I don't seem to have adverse affects, but I really worry about all that you took apart! Thank you for the reassuance that my diet isn't evil!!
The one thing I've learned here, is that everyone reacts to food in a different way.
I'm able to buy raw milk and have been drinking it two or three times a week for over five years now.
I like it and don't have any negative reactions to it….so I drink it with my morning smoothie.
On the other hand I'm sensitive to almonds, peanuts and eggs….which most here seem to swear by and eat everyday.
Everyone is different and must go by what their body…and blood tests…show.
Has it occurred to anyone that the reason that we're the only animal that drinks other species' milks is because we're the only one with the empathy required to bond closely enough to another species so that it lets us get near its udders AND the only one with opposable enough thumbs to milk (or the smarts to operate a milking machine???)
A previous commenter noted that predators certainly WILL preferentially eat udders and pigs fatten really well on whey, too. We aren't the only ones who consume dairy, we're just really, really good at it.
I suffer from GERD and reflux.
Dairy agravates adverse symptoms,so I removed dairy totally from my diet,and this works well for me.
As I am on PPIs,I do worry a bit about bone weakness,but so be it.
I am constantly searching for a natural alternative to PPIs,but without any success so far.
Any research in this area would be most welcome.
It's not a totally 'either or' proposition. There are some people who can't drink milk or eat butter on account of lactose, but who can consume yoghurt and cheese with out ill effects as the lactose is destroyed by the fermentation process.
My dairy is veal or suckling pig.
Surprised you didn't mention glucagon when you talked about dairy and insulin.

Hi there,
We have an issue where a remote collector runs a full scan and then gets to the stage where it says "Scan data from this site is being securely sent to..." but the send does not seem to finish and nothing appears in the central console.
Remote collector is running on SBS 2003 both SpiceWorks installs are v5.3. I can access the central console form the remote collector so I think the network side of things is OK.
Anyone got any ideas? What troubleshooting can I perform?
This topic was created during version 5.3.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Did this ever work, or just recently stop? Are bot the central and remote on the same version of Spiceworks and fully up to date? Any odd plugins installed at either location? Could try navigating to settings, manage extensions, then upper left disable plugins and test. If that works then you have a plugin interfering.
I don't believe there is a specific log just for remote collectors and the best I can come up with is the "production.log" file located in C:\Program Files\Spiceworks\log
You could check that log on both the central and remote collector, scroll to the bottom and check the last few lines as this should be where it would indicate any issues.
Take a look, but if you don't see anything and the above steps don't help then I would contact support directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
Include a link to this thread and as much detail as you can about your environment at both locations.
Let me know how it goes.

DUBLIN – Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny's Fine Gael party recovered from a recent slide in popularity in two opinion polls on Saturday, but his junior coalition partners fell to their lowest-ever level ahead of a national election.
Ireland will vote on Friday in what promises to be a tight contest that opinion polls suggest may fail to produce a stable government.
The eurozone nation has the highest economic growth rate in the European Union — 7.0 percent in the first nine months of last year — but many voters say they are not feeling the benefit and are disillusioned after years of sacrifices and a financial crisis that has discredited Ireland's elite.
Thousands of protesters marched through Dublin on Saturday to call for an end to austerity measures.
The "Right2Change" demonstration brought together a range of anti-austerity groups under the banner of opposing controversial water charges, which have crystallized anger over a rise in poverty, budget cuts and tax hikes since an economic crisis and bailout in 2010. The water issue has galvanized opposition to austerity after the government began charging households for water, rather than financing through general taxation, as had been done previously.
National broadcaster RTE estimated up to 20,000 attended the march, which brought central Dublin to a halt as it snaked through the capital before the crowds filled a major thoroughfare to hear speakers address a rally.
Attending the rally were leaders of the left-wing republican party Sinn Fein, whose popularity has risen to historic highs in polls as it embraced an anti-austerity stance.
Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams said ahead of the protest: "For the vast majority of families there is no recovery. Next Friday citizens have a choice between more of the same or . . . a new government that will ensure working families are given a break."
Kenny's Fine Gael, whose support had fallen to a six-month low of 26 percent in the most recent poll on Tuesday, bounced back to 30 percent in both the Sunday Business Post/Red C and Sunday Times/Behaviour & Attitudes surveys.
Kenny is campaigning to return to power with his junior partner Labour, which fell by 1 point to 8 percent in the Red C poll and dropped 2 points to just 4 percent in the Behaviour & Attitudes survey, a level the party questioned.
"Having spent many, many hours on the doors and talked to candidates across the country, one thing I'm certain of is that the Labour Party is on considerably more than 4 percent," Public Spending Minister Brendan Howlin of Labour told the national broadcaster RTE.
A third poll by the Sunday Independent/Millward Brown had support for the two government parties unchanged, with Fine Gael at 27 percent and Labour at 6 percent.
At a combined 38 percent in the best of the polls, the parties would still be 11 seats short of the 80 needed to secure a majority, according to Adrian Kavanagh, a politics lecturer at National University of Ireland, Maynooth, who analyses each poll.
All three polls suggested that the only hope of a stable government would be an unprecedented coalition between Fine Gael and its archrival, Fianna Fail, which rose in two of the surveys to stand at between 18 and 23 percent.
The two center-right parties improved at the expense of the left-wing Sinn Fein, which fell in all three polls to between 15 and 19 percent.
If the coalition parties are unable to gain the added support needed, or at least come close enough to cobble together a majority with independents or smaller parties, that may spell a period of political instability or fresh elections.

Question: My 26-year-old son has been living with his girlfriend and her three young daughters for four years, and it's not going well with them or with me.
Their relationship is marked by arguments and terrible disagreements because she is such a drama queen.
She and I were close for three years while she went through her divorce and her child-custody battles. But after everything got settled, she began to focus on my son. One day she talked so badly about him that I told her that she should quit talking and arguing in front of her girls about my son and other adult issues. My comments offended her and her 8-year-old daughter. I was giving a get-together for my daughter when the child suddenly blew up and said, "You need to apologize to my mommy for calling her a bad mommy."
I was completely shocked and so was everyone else, but I said, "I have no idea why your mom said that, but let us adults talk about that at another time."
The girlfriend wouldn't come to this gathering until I had left and now — four months later — she still won't talk to me about it. But why? I don't interfere in my son's life — we text more than we talk or see each other — and yet she now does everything she can to keep him away from me. I didn't even get to see my son on Mother's Day, but they went to see my ex-husband on Father's Day, even though he was never involved in my kids' lives.
What am I to do?
Answer: It all depends on how well you can swallow your pride, and that, in turn, depends on how much your son means to you. If you'd rather be right than be with him, then you should stand your ground. But it would be better if you looked at the problem from his point of view.
The young woman he chose may be difficult, but he has stayed with her and her three children for four years. Four years. A minister never pronounced them husband and wife, but for all practical purposes they are married, and the familiar admonition still stands: "Let no man put asunder." And no woman, either.
The more you confront your son's partner, the more he will defend her and the more he will cut you out of his life. Is this what you really want?
If it isn't, then you'll have to eat crow because this woman is part of your family now, and you can't walk away from your family the way you might walk away from a club or a team. If you do, you'll replay this sorry episode in your mind every time you go to a graduation, a wedding, a funeral and some other small family reunion.
Enough already.
It's time to tell this girlfriend, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. I didn't mean the things I said. I was just defending my son, and then I got carried away. Please forgive me." Think of your apology as your gift to your son, who needs to know that you respect him and the choices he makes, and to his girlfriend, who needs to know that you won't complain about her mothering again or get mixed up in their problems anymore. Of course, she should know that you will defend your son if she trashes him again, just as she would defend her own children. That's what mothers do.
Above all, let her children know that you have apologized to their mother because children seldom know everything that's going on, and this makes them worry more than they should.
Your apology will make your family stronger and also teach your son and his girlfriend a few things. In time, this young couple may even realize that their own relationship depends on good manners, too.

Hand-held IR exposure, entirely unedited save for cropping. Came about after an infuriating tripod failure; I was down at the shore to take long-exposure shots of the crashing waves against rocks.
Next tripod I buy I'll be doing so in-person, I own a heavy camera and these budget ones just don't do the job.
Could end up in Scraps, in future.
how'd i miss this .... great work Daren
You want blood, blood let be....but do not ask 4 anything but a moon beam to wipe your sinner hands and mind....let's fry some rats....
An appropriately dark and fragmented description, indeed.
Simply divine.....or should I say devilish.
Hurrah for tripod faiure!
Hurrah for tripod faiure!
wow..very surreal and love the color
Perdition is a smoldering beauty of hue
I freakin' love this color of red...unedited??? Nice!!!
Unedited indeed; my tripod is as cheap thing and my camera is rather heavy; I was down there to take long exposures to convert later but it was windy so you can imagine what kept happening, heh.
and sometimes there is fire
warmth & beauty... despite the insinuation of the title
That's just... it pulls me in, but I don't want to go. Wherever it is, there's no hope there.
(that red is amazing.)
(that red is amazing.)
It came out surprisingly well considering I was in a sulk at the time.
(I'm glad you like it.)
positive failure
wonderful abstract shot
wonderful abstract shot
Heh, yeah, I was determined to get something out of the session; although at the time I was also melodramatically frustrated.
Thank-you for the comment and for your support; it's appreciated.
No matter which way I look at it, I can't help but call to mind A Natural Disaster. The obvious bit being it's the same tone of red, but I think it carries along some of that feeling of hopelessness.
That was a title I considered, along with Katatonia's Great Cold Distance as the artwork is rather similar in tone and aesthetic.
No, no, don't scrap. I love it, it's pretty powerful .. it's feel, I don't know why exactly.

Museum makes 204-square foot Lego model of Colorado campus
Colorado's campus is one of the most gorgeous in the country, with its red-roofed buildings nestled beneath the Flatirons making for a magnificent sight.
To capture that beauty, the university's CU Heritage Center built a 12-foot-by-17-foot model of the campus made from Legos for an exhibit set to open on Dec. 6.
• Gregg Popovich insists he doesn't watch film
According to ABC-7, the idea for the exhibit was inspired by a similar Lego replica that the History Colorado Center in Denver constructed a couple of years ago. That model was dedicated to the entire state of Colorado and comprised an area of 700 feet.
The Boulder model isn't that enormous, but 204 square feet isn't too shabby. Whoever built that thing is probably still icing down their fingers after having to manipulate all those tiny plastic bricks.
