Ketosis as a way of life	Posted on October 26, 2014	by gcochran9 There’s a new article out in ASHG that discusses a regional selective sweep in CPT1A, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A, which plays an essential role in fatty acid metabolism. A mutation has become extremely common, with a gene frequency > 50%, in northeast Siberian populations, Eskimos, and Aleuts. This happened even though the c.1436C>T mutation has some negative side effects, such as reduced fasting tolerance and, apparently, a higher risk of infant death.
It looks as if this variant conferred significantly higher fitness (~15%) over the past few thousand years and has increased very rapidly. Almost certainly, this has something to do with traditional diets in these areas, in which fat provided 80-85% of energy and protein 15-20%, with hardly any carbohydrates. We’ll know more about the biochemical details of how this mutation works when someone makes a mouse model.
This could only happen in the Arctic, where agriculture is impossible, plant foods limited, and marine mammals use blubber as insulation.
It illustrates an important point, mentioned in our book: an ancestral diet might have some payoff, but likely the appropriate diet would be the foods eaten by your ancestors, not somebody else’s.

For whatever it’s worth and doing a little browsing just now — searching on the term rosemary at GodeCookery yields 36 hits.

It’s named after a word meaning ‘wisdom’ for a reason. Tisanes made with it are delightful – and if taken in sufficient quantities on an empty stomach, can cause dizziness and hallucinations. Has a higher thujone content than absinthe.

They’ve found pots of honey in Egyptian tombs that are still edible after thousands of years (the honey, that is, not the pots). I could have sworn I once read about ancient Egyptian grains being used to make bread by an archaeologist, but I can’t find anything about that now. I wonder how different it would taste to today’s bread.

The milk example makes it most clear.
Reply	Toddy Cat says:	October 27, 2014 at 8:51 am	I vaguely recall an interview that Cochran gave over at the old “2 Blowhards” site a long time ago, where he said that the people who were most likely to benefit from an ancestral diet were late agriculture adapters, like Blacks, certain Indians, and Aboriginals, and that unfortunately they were probably the people least likely to adopt it. Sadly probably true.
Reply	Matt says:	October 27, 2014 at 11:19 am	Yes, but “adaptation time” relative to what? We’ve been vertebrates far longer than we’ve been farmers and milk drinkers. “Time” itself doesn’t really tell us that much, especially since rates of evolution vary across time intervals. And ultimately the time claim is premised on specific physiological features, not time itself. Milk is supposed to be good for us not because we’ve been drinking it for X years, but because we can break down lactase. But once we start looking at physiology, it’s less clear how healthy certain foods are. Milk for example is more than just lactase. Milk may be loaded with insulinlike growth factors which may stimulate cancer growth for example.
Reply	JayMan says:	October 27, 2014 at 11:26 am	@Matt:
After enough generations (1000-2000 years worth definitely), a people become perfectly adapted to whatever it is they eat (during that time).
Don’t buy those claims that X causes cancer.
Reply	gcochran9 says:	October 27, 2014 at 11:48 am	” Perfectly adapted” in 1000-2000 years? I wouldn’t bet on that.
Reply	Matt says:	October 27, 2014 at 1:01 pm	I don’t think you understood my point. Time is just a counter here. Milk ultimately is being prescribed not because people have been drinking it for X years, but because we can break down lactase. Presumably, if we couldn’t break down lactase, it wouldn’t be prescribed even if we had been drinking it for X years. So if these prescriptions are ultimately based on physiological mechanisms, as they appear to be, then it becomes more complicated.
I never said anything about X causing cancer. Insulin and glucose, which lactase is broken down into, have been shown to promote cancer proliferation and chemoresistance in human cell cultures.

Reply	Matt says:	October 27, 2014 at 1:45 pm	Yes good point regarding pandas. Some of their traits such as the false thumb which is used to grasp and hold bamboo appear to have evolved to adapt to bamboo consumption. But other aspects of their physiology suggest that they’re poorly adapted to bamboo. They’ve been eating bamboo for a long time, but this length of time itself doesn’t tell us that bamboo is optimal for them.
Reply	Richard Sharpe says:	October 27, 2014 at 2:07 pm	Milk is supposed to be good for us not because we’ve been drinking it for X years, but because we can break down lactase.
The details actually matter, otherwise you sound like an idiot.
Take it from me, I have sounded like an idiot before because I was careless with the details, but I learned.
Reply	Matt says:	October 27, 2014 at 2:59 pm	So it’s lactose which is broken down by lactase.
The details do matter, but I don’t care about sounding like an idiot. And this detail does not alter the issue I raised. I’m not confidently making prescriptive claims here. I’m asking questions to people who are.
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 28, 2014 at 2:27 am	@Matt
“This has less practical application than you think though. Which ancestors? How long ago? Etc.”
I think the logic of it goes something like this.
1) assume every food stuff can have a benefit and a cost so the three categories are:
a) all good no bad
b) some good some bad
c) all bad no good.
Ignoring (c) there’s an evolutionary incentive with each food source to both maximize the benefit part and minimize the cost part (if it exists).
2) Time is one factor however I think the kicker is likely to be the criticality of that food source at some moment in time and the length of time it was critical so
evolutionary incentive = criticality * time.
Hence blubber with eskimo and (imo) milk with NW Euros and (also imo) likely thousands more of varying degrees of magnitude – I think there’s likely to be thousands of little ones which may not be that relevant to diet but might be relevant to medical drugs – partly simply because of eating the same thing over time but I think the big ones would stem from a moment when that food source was critical.
So foods your ancestors ate that were at some point in time critical to their survival.
A lot of people will have a jumble of different ancestral food genes but if the ones for Swedes, Japanese, Bengalis etc are identified then people should eventually be able to get a list telling htem they have:
swedish fish genes
japanese meat genes
bengali carb genes
(although i think a lot of these adaptations may be at a regional rather than national scale)
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 28, 2014 at 1:24 pm	For example a population that at some point in time had only one source of vitamin C and that source had some negative side effect then that population might develop genes that would maximize vitamin C uptake and reduce the side effect.
In a modern population with a lot of sources of vitamin C those genes might not matter much from a dietary point of view (maybe higher risk of ODing on what is considered a normal intake of vitamin C) but those genes might effect reactions to medical drugs.

“Pandas remain poorly adapted to eat bamboo.”
That could be an example of the same thing in reverse. If pandas were pushed out of their natural habitat into bamboo their lack of reproduction could be a product of not getting their original diet. Have any zoos fed them on meat?
(got that idea from someone on here)
Reply	Matt says:	October 28, 2014 at 4:30 pm	Pandas have been eating bamboo for a long time. They’ve been seen eating small amounts of meat in the wild sometimes. I know zoos will give them fruits, biscuits, and ice cream. I don’t know about meat though. But their diets are mainly bamboo and they seem to prefer it. And they seem to have certain adaptations such as false thumbs and they harbor certain gut bacteria that help them break down cellulose. On the other hand, they have carnivore digestive systems. Would they be better off and healthier eating meat? By the same token, we have been drinking milk for a long time and enjoy doing so and have certain adaptations for it, but is it optimal for health?
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 29, 2014 at 1:51 am	i guess they’d have to experiment with whatever it is they think pandas ate before they were pushed out of their original habitat. It may not be meat they’re missing but some specific vitamin or something – but it would be an interesting experiment to find out.
Reply	Matt says:	October 29, 2014 at 12:20 pm	Yes but if bamboo isn’t that good for pandas, how do we know milk is good for us?
Here’s a recent study that found higher milk consumption was associated with higher mortality:
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/10/29/3-daily-glasses-of-milk-linked-to-higher-mortality/
“A study published in the Oct. 28 issue of The British Medical Journal suggests that consuming three glasses of milk per day may double women’s risk of dying in 20 years, compared to drinking less than one glass daily, Medical News Today reported.
Researchers in Sweden found that the sugar D-galactose— which comprises half of lactose— increases oxidative stress and inflammation of the body. Experimental evidence in various animal species shows that chronic exposure to galactose can expedite aging and decrease lifespan.”
Reply	JayMan says:	October 29, 2014 at 12:29 pm	Matt,
“A study published in the Oct. 28 issue of The British Medical Journal suggests that consuming three glasses of milk per day may double women’s risk of dying in 20 years, compared to drinking less than one glass daily, Medical News Today reported.”
That’s a correlational study. It’s worth less than the paper its printed on. Therein stems the confusion that surrounds medical/health advice.
For the record, most cancers are both not very heritable and are uncorrelated with IQ. This severely limits the role behaviors can have in their genesis (since these are heritable).
Reply	Matt says:	October 29, 2014 at 1:47 pm	Why is it worthless? Observing correlations may not be the final word but it’s basic to induction. The researchers also point to experiments showing chronic infllammation from galactose.
Reply	JayMan says:	October 29, 2014 at 1:56 pm	@Matt:
Reread my comment, and think about it.
“Observing correlations may not be the final word but it’s basic to induction.”
We are awash in those at this point (if this was 60 years ago, then sure). As far as health and lifestyle goes, they largely turn out to be uninformative.
Reply	Matt says:	October 29, 2014 at 3:23 pm	Still not sure why observing and noting correlations is worthless. Can you explain? I’m not sure why just because there are already lots of observations, we should stop making them. What qualifies as enough observations? Can you ever have enough?
Why are they uninformative, especially if they’re consistent with experiments showing chronic inflammation for example?
Reply	JayMan says:	October 29, 2014 at 7:06 pm	@Matt:
Observational studies don’t tell you what the causes of the observed associations are. No matter what fancy chicanery the researchers involved use, there’s no way around that (well, almost).
Physiological studies are also of limited use. In this particular example, it’s unlikely one has anything to do with the other. Often researchers observe a biological process but are not necessarily sure how what they’re seeing is occurring. They often confuse description for explanation.
Much of the health wisdom gleamed from observational studies has died when subjected to randomized controlled trials. Genetic controls (e.g., twins, adoptees) are one way of getting at causation. Controlling for heritable characteristics (like IQ) are another. The current medical establishment suffers from this defective research and a failure to take genetic factors into account – among other things.
Reply	Matt says:	October 29, 2014 at 11:10 pm	I don’t see why that would make observational studies worthless. Observing correlations, whether in ordinary sense experience or in observational studies, seems important. Otherwise, where would you start?
Why are physiological experiments of limited use? What about drug trials? Giving people drugs and seeing what happens, for example, seems like a good way of finding out what they do to people physiologically. I don’t see why explanation is more important than description. In the more rigorous and successful science of physics, Maxwell’s equations mathematically describe electromagnetic behavior and make correct predictions. They don’t really explain anything about what is happening. They model what happens when you do experiments.
If observational studies can point to randomized controlled experiments to be done, then presumably they do have value.
Reply	Anonymous says:	October 28, 2014 at 6:15 am	Pandas are perhaps an example of what happens with extreme niche specialization when the specialized plant prey (bamboo) is winning the co-evolutionary arms race. Humans are perhaps on the opposite extreme with omnivory amplified through agriculture, plant breeding, and food markets and transportation.
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 30, 2014 at 5:17 am	I think it depends on whether pandas moved into bamboo forest out of choice or they were pushed into because it was the only terrain not suitable for farming.
I’m assuming it was the latter (don’t know for sure) in which case what did they used to eat? Figure that out and feed them it and I bet they start ****ing like crazy.
Reply	Matt says:	October 30, 2014 at 12:44 pm	I’m not sure if choice would be relevant. They’ve been eating bamboo for a long time and have some adaptations for it.
Their population decline has to do with habitat loss, not their bamboo diet. Their habitats are lush with lots of bamboo. Large carnivores require more land for survival. If pandas were carnivores, they probably would be even fewer in number.
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 30, 2014 at 4:00 pm	“Their population decline has to do with habitat loss, not their bamboo diet. Their habitats are lush with lots of bamboo.”
I’m not talking about their population decline in the wild – as you say x pandas per y square kilometres is limited by y – I’m talking about zoos trying to breed them.
It would be in their interest to experiment with their diet imo.
Reply	Matt says:	October 30, 2014 at 11:21 pm	Yes I agree it would be interesting although I think it could be dangerous trying to fiddle too much with them. It might be better to just try to conserve them as much as possible in their present form.
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 30, 2014 at 5:14 am	@Matt
“Yes but if bamboo isn’t that good for pandas, how do we know milk is good for us?”
We don’t. We know it was good for some people’s ancestors in a particular region at some time in the past relative to what else was available in that region at that time.
Like malaria resistance things that protect against one very bad thing – like starvation for example – may have less critical side effects.
“Here’s a recent study that found higher milk consumption was associated with higher mortality:”
The trouble with that is the people drinking more milk might be those best adapted to drinking milk but at the same time – and for exactly the same reason – are also less adapted to something else in their modern diet (like sugar for example).
So it might be true or partly true or it might be a correlation with a group of people who aren’t adapted for something else.
It’s a bit like the thing many years ago where it was said people who drank a lot of coffee had a higher risk of lung cancer but then it turned out people who drank a lot of coffee were disproportionately heavy smokers.
So for example did those heavy milk drinkers also have more alcohol related deaths and/or obesity/diabetes related deaths?
Reply	Matt says:	October 30, 2014 at 12:53 pm	Milk does have a lot of sugar though. About 40% of it is sugar. So it could be something else besides sugar. And if milk is good for us, it could mean that sugar isn’t really bad for us.
Reply	Greying Wanderer says:	October 30, 2014 at 2:03 pm	Lactose yes, but there’s forms of sugar that have to be processed by the liver and some that don’t and lactose doesn’t
or a more sideways possibility,
if LP also led to genes that gave people a sweeter tooth that may have been a good thing when the only source of sugar for those people was in milk but is a problem now we have HFCS coming out of our ears.
If so it might also relate to liking alcohol a bit too much
http://www.futurity.org/taste-genes-alcohol-770792/
“A new study shows that how people perceive and taste alcohol varies as a result of genetics. The scientists focused on three chemosensory genes—two bitter-taste receptor genes known as TAS2R13 and TAS2R38 and a burn receptor gene, TRPV1. The research is the first to consider whether variation in the burn receptor gene might influence alcohol sensations, which has not previously been linked to alcohol consumption.” – alcohol tastes gooooood!
Anyway I’m not suggesting it as an alternative just an example of the idea that the correlation with drinking milk might be a correlation with LP which might be a correlation with not being adapted to something in the modern diet which other people who spent longer under agriculture are better adapted to.
(If it was an alternative I’d suggest maybe agriculture causes people to lose some of their sweet taste buds or something like that so both more recent pastoralists and HGs have a sweeter tooth which has become a problem now because of fast foods etc.)

The price of ignoring migration concerns | Daily Mail Online
The price of ignoring migration concerns
Updated: 23:01 EDT, 22 August 2010
A survey by a Left-wing think-tank finally confirms what the country has known since the day Gordon Brown dismissed Gillian Duffy as a 'bigoted woman' for expressing her worries about unrestricted immigration.
Voters' concerns over the issue, say the researchers for Demos, were a 'significant' reason for Labour's election defeat, with more than a third of those who deserted the party demanding tougher curbs.
Few will be surprised, either, by the finding that the poorest worry most.
Downfall: Gordon Brown dismissed Gillian Duffy over her concerns on immigration but it appears many in the country share her fears
After all, they are the ones who have to compete hardest with migrants for housing, school places, hospital beds and low-paid jobs - while the rich in their privileged enclaves can enjoy the benefits of cheap labour from overseas.
Indeed, of the poorest working-class voters, Demos finds almost half believe economic migrants 'on balance, damage the economy and society'.
But when will their message get through to the election victors?
Yes, the Mail understands that many businesses oppose tougher curbs on immigration, which would restrict their choice of employees.
We realise, too, that many are concerned - as yesterday's depressing survey of 600 firms suggests - about falling standards of literacy and numeracy among homegrown school-leavers and graduates.
But isn't it the politics of despair to abandon British workers to the dole, instead of training them properly to fill the available jobs?
Surely the Coalition has an unshirkable duty to consider the wider interests of society - not to mention the clearly expressed feelings of the British people.
Yet under pressure from the Lib Dems, the Tories are already said to be examining ways of easing next year's long-promised cap on numbers.
Let today's findings be a warning to them: like Labour, the Coalition will ignore voters' concerns at its peril.
Apparently with official clearance, the Home Office pathologist who examined Dr David Kelly's body breaks his seven-year silence to declare that the Iraq weapons inspector's death was a 'classic case of self-inflicted injury'.
Nicholas Hunt goes on to offer point-bypoint answers to the doubts raised by eminent doctors, who have argued that Dr Kelly could not have died in the way described by the Hutton Inquiry.
One question: what possible justification can there be for allowing Mr Hunt to share his recollections with a Sunday newspaper, while keeping his official post-mortem report secret for 70 years?
Last week, Attorney General Dominic Grieve said he would consider ordering an inquest into Dr Kelly's death if new evidence was presented to him.
Meanwhile, the pathologist himself says he would welcome a full public hearing to help lay to rest the doubts of the majority who question the suicide verdict.
Dressed in baseball cap, trainers, T-shirt and trendy sunglasses, Foreign Secretary William Hague is pictured walking in London with the 25-year-old fellow Yorkshireman he has just employed as yet another special adviser.
Granted, the photograph was taken before the former Tory leader, 50 next year, was appointed to uphold Britain's interests abroad.
But in a world in which appearances count for so much, won't traditionalist toes curl at his choice of casual wear?
The Mail has a high regard for Mr Hague. But for the sake of the dignity of his office, we recommend that he consigns his boy-band outfit to the charity shop.

Dora Schubert: 2011-01-23
...when my mind is uncluttered. That's when I am in my zen mode being able to express myself with my sketches on paper and then, working these ideas onto my glass beads. For most of my beads, I plan ahead of time; do my sketches, select the colors I want to use and then execute the beads. I even make test beads before I make the actual beads. Test beads are made and left on the worktable to cool so that I can see whether my ideas will work. These beads are not annealed and they get landed in the trash bin. I do not believe in co-incidences for making beads. Oh, don't get me wrong, when I first started out with making glass beads, I just "jumped right in" without any inkling of what I was going to make on the bead. Whatever glass was on the table, I would have used it. That is natural for all beginners, attempting to make glass beads. A normal step for anything we learn. Then, we move on to the next level. What's that, you may ask. That level is, making things happen on purpose.
What is involved in making designs happen on your beads? Planning, of course. You can't depend on luck or your la-di-da mood or whatever catches your fancy right now; you have to steer yourself onto the right path. Look at it this way, if you can't draw it on paper, then, how in heaven's sake are you going to make it work on the bead? It's hot, it's more than hot when the torch is on, the glass is molten, you can't grab an eraser to erase the mistake you made on your bead like you can with your pencil sketches. You don't have to be a master at drawing on paper, but visuals are vital. They "remind" you when you flamework where to add a line here or there, or put a curvy line instead of a straight line across the bead, add little dots on the left and so on. It may also turn out that it is possible on paper but not with glass; ideas may be totally abandoned or perhaps tweaked a wee bit to make it look even better on the bead. My sketchbook sits next to me whenever I work at the torch.
Believe me, I do not depend on "let's see what happens next" to make my bead sets. My sets tell a story; to make the story work, you have to plan! Remember, the beads we make capture our very essence, our thoughts, our being in a particular moment and that is sealed in forever. Sounds tacky but true!

How to make Homemade Cranberry Sauce | lifeimperfectly
I decided that it was high time I tried my hand at making fresh cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving. After doing some research, I decided to combine a few and make my own recipe. All in all, it turned out pretty good but a bit tart. Next time, I’ll add more sugar.

Cleaning for a Reason, a champ in this household | Donna Peach

Cleaning for a Reason, a champ in this household
About a year ago I wrote about my experience with Cleaning for a Reason. At that time I had registered more than one time and received rejections that they could not find anyone to perform a cleaning for me. I finally gave up.
In early June this year I heard from them again. This time it was a notice that they had found a cleaning service that would provide me with a cleaning four times over the next four months. For someone like me who cannot push a vacuum, bend or twist, it was like winning a lottery. My husband does all the heavy housework in his spare time, and I do whatever I can, which amounts to sweeping with a light broom and extended dustpan like they use in restaurants and washing dishes in small batches. My husband washes the heavy pots and pans and also helps me when I cook when I need lifting power from one burner to another. Sometimes I dust and shine the glass dining room table.
To this date the cleaning service who is working with Cleaning for a Reason has come to our loft twice. My husband is grateful, and I am happy that my glass tables shine again along with our freshly mopped concrete flooring.
If you have tried to get on the list by registering and finding no success, I would recommend that you try again. I don’t know whether the administration has changed the way they make assignments, but I know that I finally found someone who will probably continue to come to my house in the future to clean on a regular basis. Before that happens, though I have two more free cleanings over the next two months. What a victory for this household.

Happy to hear you received the help. We wish we could fulfill every request, but we are limited to available cleaning companies. We sign on new cleaning companies every day. It pays to check back often if someone can’t get in. So glad we could help you out.

It’s Almost Communism Isn’t It?
Posted on July 24, 2012	by madicattt
If you’re on twitter you may have noticed that last night, Campbell Live was trending. Maybe you were even participating in the tweeting on the subject. Twitter was how I came to discover this story and it’s a story that I am fairly disappointed to have to acknowledge.
The opening story on Campbell Live last night was with Phil and Hayley Foster from Gisborne. The Foster’s contacted Campbell Live as they felt that it needed to be public knowledge that they were upset that their two year old daughter was learning te reo at pre school. They have made a complaint to the human rights commission and compared it to communism. I’m not sure if they quite understand how they’re making that connection, but they did. You can watch the full interview here, but for those of you who don’t want to watch 10 minutes of racism, the gist of the argument is that they don’t see why their daughter should be ‘made’ to learn te reo (e.g. numbers, colours, random words), or why the day care should acknowledge the fact that it is Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori – Maori Language week.
To me this shouldn’t even be an argument. Te Reo is an official language in New Zealand. It’s part of the curriculum. It only requires a week because it almost got stamped out and even at that, a week is just pc lip service. It should have been in common usage since 1840 as per the Treaty of Waitangi but of course colonisation was never going to let that happen. Colonisation is underwritten with the concept that one group of people are superior to the other and so Maori culture and te reo were squashed, stamped, beaten (quite literally) out of the population. Did you know that prior to the treaty European settlers had to learn te reo? They had to because they were outnumbered and if they wanted to wheel and deal here, they had to respect the people.
Of course it wobbles depending on what version of the treaty you use, but essentially the treaty set up Maori and Pakeha as partners, and te reo was protected under Article 2 of the treaty. We should have been speaking te reo the whole time, but with the Native Schools Act of 1858 came a ruling that schools would assist in the process of assimilation and come 1871 it was ruled that all schooling would be conducted in English only. It is on record that Maori children would be beaten for speaking te reo in schools. English was supposed to be the means by which Maori would learn how Europeans became great (and so become great themselves? That worked well). And so the language withered. Names were Anglicised and children were prevented from learning their native tongue because it would only get them in trouble.
Things began to change in the 60’s and 70’s as Maori began to demand that instead of ignoring the treaty as a nullity (Thanks, James Prendergast) that it be recognised in law and so in 1987 te reo became an official language. That’s a very meagre history of the scenario. But how does it fit into today?
Essentially in my opinion, New Zealand culture is founded on the coming together of Maori and European peoples. My own ancestry spreads from Hawaiiki across to Scotland, Ireland, Bohemia, I could go on. Even for those who have no Maori blood, you are still part of a land in which they play an essential part of the story. Think of it like in laws, you’re not related by blood but they’re still family. For this reason, the excuse, ‘But I’m not Maori, it’s not my culture’ is no excuse. You can have more than one culture, it’s called being culturally diverse, literate.
Furthermore te reo is everywhere, show us your puku anyone? Positing yourself as against te reo won’t work unless you leave the country. And no, that’s not offensive, or worth a complaint to the Human Rights Commission, because it’s true.
And finally another point – studies show that learning multiple languages is positive for your brain. It’s not going to hurt anyone to grow your culture a little outside of what is specifically in your blood. I mean we could be pedantic about it and limit the cuisine we eat to purely what’s in our blood. I’d be lucky on that score, but I’d miss out on Asian cuisines which would make me sad. But hey, if you want to limit yourselves to ‘Kiwi cuisine,’ bangers and mash, meat and three veg, well then, go ahead. I’m beginning to ramble a bit but do you see what I mean?
How ridiculous is it that this family is so caught up with their fear (I’m going to guess) or cultural deficit that they are going to posit themselves as against a major component of New Zealand society (50% of the population of their own home town.) It’s ridiculous but also disturbing, and you know what? It may make good air time, it definitely will be good for ratings, but it’s not good for our country. This sort of prime time, current affairs broadcasting only breeds hate and it’s disgusting.
We live in a multicultural society. We live in a multicultural world. And we can spend as much time as we want trying to shut out other people from our lives, or we can just accept things, be open to learning, be good people to each other and move on.
If you’re interested in this sort of thing I highly recommend reading this book by Michael King, Being Pakeha Now. It’s disturbing and wonderful and fascinating.

Absolutely Sweet Chaos: Whew - I am exhausted
It has been a long week and next week isn't going to be better. My back has been sort of out since the shoveling of dirt at the beginning of August. It just needs time - I need to relax and do some long slow stretching after the tens unit. There just has not been time for that recently and won't be this next week either.
We are on a tight deadline - next Sunday is the last day we can be in this rental, so my plans are to start moving Friday. The kids and I will pack up everything we can - which will be the majority of whats here and move it during the day. Then, we possibly might move the dressers and freezer that night. Spend the night at the rental or wait until Saturday morning.
However, on Saturday, we are going to start moving small and light things to the house - including beds. My goal is to sleep at the new house on Saturday, clean up the rental on Sunday morning.
Then the next Monday, we are going to hire movers to move JUST the furniture. Anything too heavy for DH to pick up alone or with the kids help gets delegated to the movers. I just cannot lift anything very heavy right now. But, we are moving all boxes, and loose items - round trip, it should take the movers about 2 hours max - there is not a whole lot when you take out the beds and 2 dressers. But, again, it is needed.
Unfortunately, this has to happen regardless of if the house is done or not. In being paranoid, I booked for an electrician to get power to the shed just in case we have to stay in the RV.
1. The Driveway was poured Friday, so it is curing this weekend.
2. All floor tile was laid down. The patio still has to be grouted, but they are working on sealing the inside tiles today and hopefully grouting the patio.
3. The wood floors should actually be done by now.
4. Everything else has just made it a little further - there was some final paint, some final trim, some final cabinet work, a few low voltage things put in, most of the door knobs, etc.
This coming week - Due Date Wednesday - part of Thursday.
1. All appliances must be installed
2. Whole house water filter must be installed.
3. All special doors and final knobs/locks must be installed.
4. Sheetrock finished (yes, there are areas without sheetrock! - small though)
5. All painting/staining must be done - there is a LOT to be done, but they can also accomplish a lot in one day as well.
6. Cabinets must be finished (this is a problem - their soft close is not working, so they need to figure it out!)
7. All trims must be completed - attic entries, mirrors, garage, touch ups
8. Driveway to shed rocked
9. Final grade on land
10. Backsplash must be put in
11. All plumbing finalized - sink faucet in kitchen and outdoor kitchen, master shower as well.
12. All low voltage completely installed - speakers, under/over cabinet lighting, etc
13. Complete main electric work - there is a problem in the garage, some switches are super funky - like the one for the pendants light is under the sink in the bottom cabinet. Really? Also some outlets are not working.
14. Propane installed and coordinating appliances installed - grill, gas logs, range, hot water tank
15. Final accessories - toiler paper roll holders, towel rods, drawer pull, cabinet knobs etc.
16. Garage door figured out. Seriously - this is a MAJOR problem.
17. Final work clean up
So, needless to say, I have to be there so I can make a quick decision for anything that goes wrong. Plus, there are things getting installed that I have to be there for - internet, phone, electricity to the shed, garbage can delivery, pest control, etc.
DH wonderfully gave me today to kind of relax and putter around the rental by myself. DD is at theater rehearsals, DH and DS are running errands. I am doing laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping, vacuuming, getting organized, packing, etc. Sitting down every now and then to just chill. I may start commercial cleaning here in a minute. Get my HGTV fix.
Hope you are all having a great weekend - a cooler one!
A Dime at a Time October 7, 2017 at 3:53 PM
Oh, that is a lot to do! Does your state require an occupancy permit before you can move in?
Jennifer October 7, 2017 at 4:01 PM
Not that I am aware of. Our builder gave us the go ahead, so if any permitting had to take place, then he would have taken care of it. I will ask him though.
Jennifer October 7, 2017 at 4:29 PM
Occupancy Permit is only required from what I can tell for businesses/multi-family. Single family homes when bought previously owned do not require them, but most people get an inspection done before buying. With new builds, inspections are done fairly often, so a final overall inspection is not needed since there are individual inspections for electric, plumbing, septic, structure, etc as it goes along. I do have to have it appraised though. I am still going to ask him on Monday - this is just what a lawyer friend told me.
A Dime at a Time October 7, 2017 at 10:09 PM
I was just asking because I know my state requires them for new builds. Pre-existing homes, however, are exempt. Sorry if I added more to everything you already have going on. http://newhomes.move.com/newhome101/articles/certificate-of-occupancy-what-is-it-and-why-is-it-important
Jennifer October 8, 2017 at 8:44 AM
In the article, it says that it is a continuing list of permits that have to be granted and I know we have passed all of them up to this point. The builder has stayed on top of this through-out, so I feel very certain that the final inspection will be done. I am not worried at all - if you knew how hard I was inspecting, you would know that I probably have done a better job at the final inspection than any inspector would do. LOL
A Dime at a Time October 8, 2017 at 11:50 AM
That's good. You've worked so hard and come so far, I'd just hate to see any hiccup at this point...especially over a piece of paper!
monica October 7, 2017 at 9:54 PM
Yes, check out if an occupancy permit is needed. I hope not for your sake. Only because. Well. Delays.
You are really spinning 24/7. You will have withdrawals when this is over.
Jennifer October 8, 2017 at 8:47 AM
You are right - I am spinning! Nope, no delays - this week, I am ruling the roost so to speak. All the contractors started calling me patrona - hopefully, as a term of endearment and not as a dictator!
One Family October 8, 2017 at 9:05 AM
Our old state of residence also required occupancy permit, but not here. Hopefully you don't need it and can start getting moved in. I'll bet you are beyond ready!
Jennifer October 8, 2017 at 8:49 PM
I really don't think it is required, but I am going to ask him tomorrow.
You better believe I am beyond ready. 8 months - 10 if you count from when we decided and started the process.

Ivan Manzhura | Article about Ivan Manzhura by The Free Dictionary
https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Ivan+Manzhura
Dictionary, Encyclopedia and Thesaurus - The Free Dictionary 11,137,917,706 visitors served
(pen name, Ivan Kalichka). Born Oct. 20 (Nov. 1), 1851, in Kharkov; died May 3 (15), 1893, in Ekaterinoslav, present-day Dnepropetrovsk. Ukrainian poet, folklorist, and ethnographer.
Manzhura was the son of a petty official. In 1870-71 he attended the Kharkov Veterinary School but was expelled for belonging to “a special political circle.” In search of work he wandered through the Ukraine. His itinerant way of life led to his vocation as a folklorist, ethnographer, and poet. In 1876 he fought as a volunteer in the struggle of the Serbs against their Turkish oppressors and was wounded.
In 1884, Manzhura settled in Ekaterinoslav, where he contributed to the newspaper Ekaterinoslavskii listok (Ekaterinoslav Leaflet) and to the magazine Step ‘(Steppe). In 1889 he published the collection of verses Steppe Ballads and Songs, and in 1890 the book Fairy Tales, Proverbs, and the Like, Recorded in the Provinces of Ekaterinoslav and Kharkov. His second poetry collection, Above the Dnieper, the book of fairy tales and legends in verse Fairy Tales, Prologues, and the Like, and other fairy tales in verse were censored and were published only after the October Revolution. Manzhura was a talented democratic poet and a bard of the rural poor and the city proletariat in the tradition of T. G. Shevchenko and N. A. Nekrasov. He translated the works of N. A. Nekrasov, and H. Heine.

DISCO OUTCASTS: Outcast Love # 24 - RUFF DUG
RUF DUG was born in a volcano (stockport) and raised by wolves (his mum and dad). then he went to australia and got involved with some loose bastards and ended up a fully paid-up member of the Sydney Disco Mafia. A spell at the red bull music academy in 2006 opened Ruffy's liberated mind even further and deleriously psychedelic warehouse parties soon followed, always a step ahead of the local filth...
2008 saw RD embark on an epic voyage, returning to his motherland; during this time his portable studio was witness to some savage sessions which saw the birth of the track known as 'Dirty'... a lucky few were sent copies and stories returned to Ruffy of dancefloors being smashed across the globe. More than a few labels wanted to sign the track and in the end the mysterious Popular Peoples Front came with the goods and Ruf Dug was finally unleashed on the world...
Now RD has set up his own little label-factory, RüF KUTZ, focusing on ultra-limited runs of boutique bootleg gear of dubious morality, just the way Ruffy LIKES IT... The first release, RK#1, is a collection of tried and tested dancefloor weapons from RD's secret stash, chopped and fucked and PUMPED UP in the nice way... Soon available from discreet outlets...
Posted by disco outcast at 4.11.09
The first I heard of this guy was via the Unabombers mix of "Dirty" you posted up a while back (makes me think of The Pink Panther doing interpretive daaaarnce :D), and this mix is no disappointed as a second contact.
I've now leeched the freebies on his site and will be keeping an out out for sets around town.
Nice one, guys. And, really, you deserve more feedback on this blog - It's a cracker!
thats where i first heard of him > dirty track, still play it!
cheers for the words too, feedback is very scarce, but the downloads on the tracks are very high! some people are a bit shy me thinks!!
I've bought the record. You got the guy at least one sale :)
Hey, mebbe a competition in some form or other would encourage more overt participation? Doesn't have to culminate in a prize as such...just a bit of fun.

Valarie Ostrom Designs: Double Freebie
Double Freebie
| at Saturday, December 22, 2007
We had the neighborhood Christmas party tonight. Its held every year by the local bikers from Southern Brothers. A fantastic group of guys. They go out of their way to help the community. Im not sure the totals for this year but last year alone they spent over 800 bucks on presents for all the neighborhood kids. Some of which may not have a gift otherwise. We in turn take a dish to the community center from every household and give them a nice meal. However, I do not do well in crowds, period. I get nervous and anxious and I tend to lose my temper. I almost did tonight not being there 10 minutes. Some people dont understand that when you have kids you need to watch them and keep them under control. A couple boys, who were around 12 and 13 who should know better were running around like it was a playground. Bumping into people. They almost ran Kelsey over a few times and never even bothered to say they were sorry. There were elderly people there as well, one of which was my grandmother who just had surgery. Eventually it happened, Kelsey was knocked backwards into the wall. It took everything I had to keep from knocking some sense into a couple *moms* there.
To top it off, Santa was going to be there. Blaine was asked earlier to charge up my camera batteries with the car charger because my wall unit is still in North Carolina. He didnt. So someone is in the doghouse tonight! lol And earned himself the big thrill of meeting Santa with the kids tomorrow at his favorite Walmart! lmao
For this freebie, it comes in 2 parts. You will get the template and it contains one chipboard moon, but if the white doesnt really suit your layout you can download the set of moons in another file! The white moon is in both files just in case you dont want them both. I absolutely love these moons too! Im not sure how much detail you can see on the preview here but they look a bit like marble, like the real thing! Hope you guys like them too!
Download Moons
Again I want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. These are all so wonderful. Thanks for leaving them up all month so that those who have just discovered you can get caught up. I admire the talent of others. You make my scrap booking so much easier.
This template is great - and thank you for the extra moon's - you can always use more moons! Thank you for this very nice gift!

Have you seen Thanksgiving? | jennyrambles
Have you seen Thanksgiving?	14
Tagsevents, holidays, musings, news, thanksgiving, where has thanksgiving gone, why are christmas decorations up so soon	Some of Grace's homemade turkey decorations. She actually may be more upset about the lack of Thanksgiving excitement. She loves dinner rolls and pie.
I think the National Retailer Federation has decided to get rid of Thanksgiving, since it’s really just a hurdle to Christmas. Now I know this blog is supposed to be about food and my kids and stuff. But I’m going to venture a little off topic here for a minute. I’m a little concerned that something is seriously wrong in this country if we are entirely skipping over a unique, American holiday in favor of hurtling ourselves toward Christmas.
Last weekend, Grace and I went looking for some Thanksgiving or Fall decorations. Nothing big, or ornate, but since we have paper cut outs to tape on the window for every other holiday, why not Thanksgiving? And we found nothing. Literally Target had NOT ONE fall decoration. Just all the Christmas lights and wreaths they’ve had since mid October. Michaels, the meca of seasonal crafts had one pathetic feather wreath and a turkey statute. Amongst aisles crammed so full of Christmas stuff even skinny minny Grace had a hard time getting down them.
Now look, I love Christmas. I love the cookies and the lights and the way the incense stinks up the place at midnight mass and the songs (Oh how I adore White Christmas! On Repeat. Sometimes all day) but what the hell is the big hurry to get there? I feel like this year the retailers shouted “Here, while you’re in the Halloween aisle, pick up some Christmas Garland! Throw on your costume! Choke down your candy! HURRYUP HURRYUP! Now get out the ads and start making your Black Friday shopping list! Don’t stop on Thanksgiving! Who cares? Buy, buy, buy those presents! No one will like you if you don’t! HURRYUP HURRYUP! Christmas is coming!!!”
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to slow down for a weekend. Pull out those recipes you are too tired and too strapped for time to make the rest of the year. To think about what you have to be thankful for, even if it’s not much. To share with those who are less fortunate. I genuinely believe it is a greater present to bake someone your gramma’s pecan pie, or offer to mash the potatoes or pop open that can of Pillsbury Crescent rolls than it is to buy someone a Christmas gift they don’t need/want/know what to do with because Target’s market analyst says it’s the number one gift of the season.
And what is the hurry to get to Christmas? I mean, it comes every year whether you buy your presents in July and have your cards stamped and mailed on December 1st. No one opens a Christmas gift and thinks “Gee, so and so really loves me more than anyone else, she bought my present on November 3rd instead of waiting till December 20th”. And you know, once the excitement of the season is over, it’s just a cold, dark, muddy, frozen winter to look forward too (unless you have a stellar babysitter with no social life and then you can enjoy New Years).
All I’m saying is lets bring back Thanksgiving. As it’s own delightfully gluttonous holiday, not just the day you have to endure before you can go sit in your lawn chair in the Toys R Us parking lot at 3 a.m. And if you need a place to go on Thanksgiving, the doors always open here. But you have to bring some booze.

smh53 | Tutor Musings 2.0
Author Archives: smh53
Hey everyone! My name is Matt and I’m a sophomore at Duke. I did some informal tutoring in high school helping people prep for the SAT and whatnot, but this will be my first experience with tutoring in a college environment. I’m really excited! I’ve always enjoyed telling stories, but I only discovered my love for writing in the past couple of years (I’ve always identified as more of a math guy). I hope in this program I can help other students unearth their own passions about writing.

My recommendations, from an Aussie. - Honolulu Forum - TripAdvisor
My recommendations, from an Aussie. - Honolulu Forum
My recommendations, from an Aussie.
I was going to do a trip report, but instead I will give my recommendations and opinions on the various things we experienced.
We flew SYD-HNL via Jetstar. You get what you pay for. We didnt pay much and Jetstar delivered. Not saying it was awful, but we only paid AU$550 inc each R/T, so dont set your sights too high. Feel sorry for all those QF punters that pay top dollar for low cost carrier service.
ABC limo airport transfer was excellent. So glad I found out about them thru here. Highly recommeded.
We stayed at the Waikiki Banyan. We booked thru VRBO, listing #167152.Owner Micheal is a very nice helpfull chap, although his agent in HI needs a bit of prodding to get going. Nice clean comfortable accommodation. Well located 1 block back from the beach. Excellent for families with young kids (ours are G11 and B6). The 6th floor "rec deck" is great with the pool, jacuzzis, tennis(I think), basketball, putting green, playground, snack bar and BBQs. There is a mini mart in the lobby as well as a funky coffee shop. Our accomm included free parking and it was always easy to find plenty of stalls on the upper floors.
We hired a car from budget at the Hyatt. Service was good although it was very busy at 9:00am on the day I picked the car up and therewas a bit of a wait. I recommend you hire a GPS with the car (if you dont have one with Hawaii maps) as it was very helpful, and most touristy locations were already loaded on it. Speaking of cars, we got a Buick Lacrosse. No wonder GM is going broke! What a POS! The ride was so wallowing my daughter was physically ill in the back seat and needed travel sickness pills everytime we went out in it.
The Waikele Outlets were great (for Aussies anyway) especially Guess for my wife and daughter and Vans for me. The Kmart across the road we cool too.Much different to Aust Kmart. They even have free internet there! Good to check the footy scores on!
The Ala Moana trolley stopped just over Ohua st from the Banyan, outside Hilton Prince Kuhio. They run from about 9:30am to 9:30 pm. Payed $2 each, one way instead of buying a pass and I reckon Im still ahead.
We drove to Pearl Harbour on a Sunday. Arrived at 7:45am, got tickets for the 8:30 "show". There is some construction going on at the moment till Dec 2010 as they build a new visitor centre. I dont know if this will impede on anyones visits during that time. Bought a cool souvenir, a US flag that has been flown over the Arizona Memorial. Did a tour of both Missouri and Bowfin, both very interesting. Also visited the Swap Meet. As has been said on here previously, its lots of the same stalls repeated over and over around the car park. Its very hot, and the goods and prices can just about be found elsewhere.
At least one "lap" of the island should be undertaken in a car. The Dole plantation, North Shore beaches, Giovannis Shrimp Truck, Eastern side of the island and Pali Lookout were all highlights. If you want some great New York style pizza, try Spagetini(sp?)in Haleiwa, delicious.
Our best day was not in Honolulu at all. It was our day trip to Hilo. We booked on Mokulele Airlines and hired a car from Budget. Visited Rainbow Falls, Boiling Pots, Richardsons Beach Park (Black sand beach), Volcano and Kalapana. Walking out of Volcano House and seeing Kilauea steaming and smoking in front of us, is a sight I will never forget. Drove all aroud the caldera, as much as the roads allow.Also did some short hikes off road to see steam vents and sulfur banks. Thurston Lava Tube is another fantastic experience. Head to the stairs at the end, then go thru the gate into the unlit section. Very eerie. Dont forget your flashlight. Drove to the end of the road at Kalapana. Stopped at Pahoa to get some food. The fish and chips were excellent and inexpensive. Once you come to the lava at the end of the road, its a single lane strip of ashphalt over the lava to the carpark. make sure you have a flashlight to navigate back to your car in the dark. Although there are numerous stalls selling flashlights, food, photos and souvenirs and about half a dozen portable toilets. The walk across the lava was about 3/4 mile. Very uneven and not for the frail. The walk however is woth it for the view of the lava into the water. Bear in mind it is flowing into the sea about a mile away, but still looks spectacular in the dark.
Back in Honolulu, the baseball at UH Manoa is a great, cheap night out. And just like the majors, they have beer and hot dogs.
The shopping at Ala Moana was excellent too,loved Sears and Old Navy. Unfortunately my 6 yo son bought a RC helicopter from a stall there and we naively didnt test it before we left. Yep, you guessed it, DOA when we got it home. Now they wont answer my emails, but thats another story.
The Zoo is also an excellent day out, the kids loved it. Great variety of animals and cheap entry. The food however is astronomical.
We felt very safe walking both Kalakaua and Kuhio at night both on my own and with the family, although I think the homeless has increased since my visit last year. We werent hassled by anyone, but there are a lot more folks sleeping rough.
If anyone has any questions about anything I have written, I am happy to reply.
1. Re: My recommendations, from an Aussie.
Thank for that, some good ideas. Great read and very interesting for a first timer planning on going over. Thanks for the heads up.
2. Re: My recommendations, from an Aussie.
Absolutely LOVED your trip report. Um...I mean recommendations. :) We will be leaving for Oahu in about two weeks, so everything you've written here is of particular interest to us.
Ooooh...I'm very curious about the trip to the Big Island. You booked an island hopper with Mokulele Airlines? What is that like? Where does the plane take off and land? If you don't mind my asking...how much did the Hilo trip cost you per person? Did you do all of those activities in one day? You prearranged all of this, I take it? The car rental, etc., too? Was it difficult to find your way around Hilo? I've never been!
Mahalo for the help and wonderful recommendations!
3. Re: My recommendations, from an Aussie.
s far as the day trip to Hilo goes, we organized it by ourselves. We booked Mokulele on line, fares were $35 each way + taxes. Total for 2 adults and 2 kids was $328. They depart from the interisland terminal, from the old Aloha gates. Staff are friendly, and on board there was one Mokulele flight attendant and one Republic Airways attendant. You also get a drink(juice, water, punch) on the flight. The Republic FA allowed me to take photos on approach, which was pretty cool.Flying time is about 40-45 mins. The plane lands at Hilo International airport. The gate is right down one end, which is OK for arrival, but check in is at the other end which is a long run if you are running late as we were.
We prebooked a hire car with Budget. The ladies at the airport budget counter are just about the nicest agents I have ever met. Its not hard to find your way around, but we did get a gps with the car.
It was all completed in one hectic day, sure, you have to keep moving, but we didnt rush.
We arrived at 10:45 am and departed at 8:40 pm. Bear in mind we left the Kalapana viewing area at 7:15pm. If I was to do it again, and I had the time, I would over night in Hilo so I could spoend more time at the viewing area at night.

5. Re: My recommendations, from an Aussie.
Thanks Terry. Nice to hear from an Aussie spook, ASIO being what it is. Ha Ha. I'll pass the trip info on to the son & his wife-to-be. They're off to Maui & Oahu for 2 weeks in September for their honeymoon, courtesy of my credit cards. The young daughter-in-law-to-be was keen to have a look at the volcano national park as well and the trip detour you made sounds just the ants pants for them. I'm sure they'll sacrifice a night of Maui or Oahu, considering dad's paying for it.
The wife & I have been to Hawaii 3 times before (4 if you count an overnighter) but I've never taken in the zoo. Been too busy with beaches, snorkeling & motorbikes. Oh, and alcohol in it's many-flavoured forms (lurve Maitais and Margaritas). The wife's making bleating sounds about Hawaii (oops, sounded like a New Zealander then), so I guess we'll be away next year (Yay!!) and we'll check out the zoo this time. Do they serve maitais? Ha Ha!
Did you stop on your northshore drive at Haleiwa for some of Aoki's shave ice for the "kids"? This big kid loves it big time! Yep, POS is the latest model in the GM fleet. Hired one ourselves.

Aloha TerryOOseven, Thank you for the helpful details (especially the itinerary). Wow!
We have always wanted to see the Big Island. Your description makes it sound quite possible (and affordable) to hop on over (even if only for a day)!
