new voting ideas

2010-08-19T03:01:00.000-07:00

i was in a cabin in sweden the other night talking with some friends about politics and 2 interesting ideas that came up regarding voting, are:
* nameless voting - vote only on issues, not on names
* voters must take a multiple choice test which shows how informed you are. the more correct answers you get, the more weight your vote is given.

my paternal grandmother is Pearl Lorine Mustoe (seattle, washington, usa). are you my paternal grandfather, a dutch sailor in november 1950, from the netherlands / holland / Nederland?

2010-08-02T04:17:00.000-07:00

my paternal grandmother is Pearl Lorine Mustoe. she lived in seattle, washington, usa (the united states of america) in november 1950. her sister, Flora May Mustoe, believes that Pearl dated a dutch sailor in the period around october, november, december or january of 1950, who was visiting on a boat/ship from the netherlands / holland / Nederland at that time?

does this fit your profile or anyone you may know? i don't know who my paternal grandfather is and i would really like to find out, hopefully before he dies, if it is not already too late. but no matter what, i would like to know, dead or alive, who he was =)

in the winter of the year 1950, Pearl would have been 25 or 26 years of age.

UPDATE 20100803

i have ordered a y-dna 37 marker test from FTDNA to see if it will at least give me an indication as to whether my paternal line comes from the netherlands or not. i wrote to IGENEA who cooperates with FTDNA and they said:

we have about 1.500 Y-DNA samples from the Netherlands so far.
Whether a Y-DNA test can answer your question also depends on where the other man came from who could be your fathers father. If he is, for example, of french, british or german descent it could be hard to distinguish the profile from profiles from the Netherlands.

I would suggest to give it a try and start with the 12-Marker Test. This will show us if you have relatives from the Netherlands in the database. If there are such relatives we can test more markers to get to know the distance of the relationship.

So , open Dos Box , type "mount k c:\tc" ( I'm assuming that ur tc files are in c:\tc )

to install it just do:

sudo apt-get install mx44

to use it:
1. start qjackctl
2. start vkeybd
3. start mx44
4. in the jack connections window (in qjackctl) connect mx44 to system in the Audio tab and then vkeybd to mx44 in the ALSA tab
then start pressing keys in vkeybd to hear sound

our car has keyless entry/start which means that we just have to have the key in our pocket and we push a button on the door and it opens. we turn the ignition and the car starts, without a key.

when i drove home today and got everything out of the car and pushed the button to lock the car it locked, but i immediately felt like "how is that possible, i don't remember having had the key?"

when i needed to get my jacket out of the car later that night i noticed that the key was sitting on the drivers seat. i tried pushing the button on the driver side door to unlock the car, but nothing happened. i prayed that i would be able to get the door open, but nothing happened right away. i went back inside the house. later on i felt like i should go out and try one more time and that i should try to rock the car and push the button at the same time. i got to the car, grabbed the roof rail by the driver side and started to rock the car back and forth as hard as i could while pressing the button on the door at the same time. after about 5-6 "rocks" the door opened =)

today we signed the contract for the sale of our property in ormåsen. i'm waiting to take down my ads until the money is in the bank though. we also sold the baby buggy after we got home. 2 good sales today =)

Nicotine patch, the human body, sex drive and ADHD

2009-08-13T03:21:00.000-07:00

notes from an email from a doctor in the USA in response to our telling him we give our son a nicotine patch to treat ADHD (recommended to us by an ADHD/Autism expert in Stavanger, Norway):

There are 3 sets of nerves-------Somatic--largest---Motor nerves to muscle.

-------------Sympathetic----mediated by Norepinephrine (a close relative of Adrenaline)--stimulates heart, blood vessels, gut, etc.

-------------Parasympathetic---mediated by Acetylcholine (AC)---controls automatic body functions---breathing, heartbeat, peristalsis, etc. When stimulated, AC is released at the nerve Junctions (Most nerves have 2 or 3 segments, rather than 1 long nerve) & at the nerve endings, where it produces a response in the end-organ. There are receptors in many organs in the body & also the brain, which then respond to the AC that is released.(The AC is then quickly inactivated by an Enzyme---Chlonesterase, so the reaction does not continue unless further activated from the Brain. The Receptors are of two kinds, Nicotinic (react as if given Nicotine) & Muscarinic (react as if eating certain mushrooms), & the response depends on which receptors are more prevalent or are stimulated more (not all respond in the same way).

I have found a good listing of the Nicotinic & Muscarinic effects in the Brain, but unfortunately the effects are all listed together, so I don't know for sure which is which, but since [your child] has been diagnosed with ADHD, then I think the Muscarinic effects might be some of the following------difficulty concentrating, restlessness, anxiety, or emotional lability. In any case, the Muscarinic effects could be counteracted by Nicotinic effects, which actual Nicotine could provide. Of course in the USA that is too easy, so there are drugs which cost an arm & a leg to treat Children or Adults with ADHD.

i personally use the nicotine patch to lower my sex drive and it seems to work great. i use half of a 7mg patch. my weight is about 77kg, if that has any value. i found out that the patch can reduce sex drive only by accident, because my wife told me to wear the patch myself to see how it affected my body since we were going to give it to our son.

in the meantime i have found this article about nicotine being bad for the arteries:
Your Sex Drive: 6 Essentials | Anti-Aging | Reader's Digest
where they say among other things:

Nicotine, on the other hand, is an enemy of the arteries. Nicotine not only promotes the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the penile blood vessels but also constricts them.

i wrote this doctor in the USA to ask his opinion and this is his reply:

Though I have not treated Autism, or prescribed the Nicotine Patch, I can give my thoughts from reading of Medical Articles.

Yes, long term, heavy use could lead to Arterial damage in any arteries:, penile, renal, coronary, carotids. This applies mostly to heavy smokers for 20-plus years. With [your child], the considerations are these:
1): If there is an imbalance in body Chemistry, the bad side effects are less likely to occur. The difficulty here is knowing how much to give. The smallest effective dose is the goal & it may be acceptable from time to time to reduce the dose to see if symptoms recur, because over time he may need less.
2): As stated, use the smallest effective dose & not for more years than necessary. Some effects of overdosage or toxicity are: dizziness, falling, sleeping problems, vivid dreams, rapid or irregular heartbeat, or diarrhea.

Since your doctor is a specialist in Autism, my advice would be to follow along with him. Nicotine does not always work, but the same is true for the high-powered new drugs on the market, & they also have side effects. So if the Nicotine is working, I would say stay with it for a long period, but at a minimum dose.

UPDATE: i just read up on atherosclerosis

Cigarette habituation: A major and modifiable risk factor for atherosclerosis and is associated with an increased relative risk of dying from vascular disease. The mechanisms are complex and likely multifactorial and result in endothelial dysfunction and a relatively hypercoagulable state. This increased relative risk rapidly and significantly is reduced with smoking cessation. The relative risk is reduced to the extent that the incidence of coronary heart disease in people who have recently quit smoking is similar to that of people who have not smoked for at least 2 years. It should also be mentioned that air polution in recent years has gained increasing recognition as a contributing modifiable risk factor in the urban communities. The mechanism is thought to be through the participation of combusion derived nanoparticles acting through proinflamatory or alternatively direct cardiac toxic pathways.

it seems to me that this is talking about physical smoking of cigarettes, not the nicotine drug itself, since they bring up air pollution.

classical plagiarism?

2009-06-08T07:33:00.000-07:00

i just downloaded a song called:
Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra / Polytech Male Choir / Leif Segerstam, conductor - SIBELIUS: Finlandia, Op. 26 (version for male choir and orchestra)

and 3 parts are practically identical to things i have heard before:
00:00-00:10 - from one of the star wars movies at about 10-11 seconds i expected to hear a high-pitched flute tone. also this is very similar to a garageband loop.
05:35-07:58 - some music used in a mormon/lds church video where it starts out with the words "come". maybe both are using some old hymn/music, i don't know (i never looked either if the lds video credited anybody else or not).
8:01-8:38 (i don't know where i've heard this before. i think a song with a toy gun popping sound, i'm not sure)
(time values based on this version: Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra - SIBELIUS: Finlandia, Op. 26 (version for mixed chorus and orchestra))

hebrew song music from lds jesus christ video

2009-06-06T03:09:00.000-07:00

in this certain video about jesus christ, made by the lds church, there is a scene where jesus and his disciples are sitting up in a room, i think on the night before he went to garden of gethsemane, and they were singing a cool tune with words like haleluja. i think this is what they were singing:
a c a# a
a c c
c a# a# a a f# f# a a
c d d# d c c
c a# a# a a f# f# a a
a# a a f# f# d# d# f f
a f# f# d# d# d d
