The Page Perrin Project Part 2: The Memorial
I’ve spent the last four days completely out of touch from the world and I loved it. What I loved even more was the drive back up to Hat Creek to meet with others, to commemorate Page Perrin’s full life. If you’re ‘yawn,’ then here, a comment from Sandy, a former lover from the 70’s….…...

AHS13 Kicks Off in Atlanta; Break a Leg, Maggots!
And guess what? It’s certain to be imperfect. Oh noes! Damn you! Just in case you thought that pinning my scathing and righteous rebuke of a dumbass AHS12 volunteer to the top of the blog yesterday was in any measure sour grapes—because I’m neither presenting (didn’t apply) or attending this year—nothing could be further from……...

A Quick Lafer for Wooo
Someone mentioned “burying the hatchet.” I’m simply incapable of holding a grudge, and it’s been a lifelong flaw and affliction. Worse, it doesn’t seem to matter whether it was a smart or stupid grudge. I can’t really understand why it’s that way, other than I can’t help feeling how I feel about things. Seems to……...

Auto “Insurance” Run Like Medical “Insurance”
For many, many years I’ve said that people are NOT talking about medical or health “insurance,” but rather a bumper-to-bumper full maintenance plan. My longtime friend, Kyle Bennett, illustrates how it would go if people were as stupid and ignorant about automobile maintenance and insurance as they are about so-called health insurance. ~~~ If you handled your……...

The Perfect Person for the Job
It reminds me of another “perfect job”: Street Sweepers. You know, that make-work thing where those ridiculous vehicles come around every so often to smear all the dirt around with a bit of added water? Kyle Smith writes in the New York Post: Unemployed? Underemployed? Working the register at Denny’s when you used to be on……...

Contrast: The Heroic Vernon Hershberger vs. Laura and Monte Bledsoe
This morning, I saw this tweet from WAPF: Clap Indeed, the Bedsoes did turn, but not in a way I would applaud. Here’s the report. On July 1, 2013, Nevada’s Farm-to-Fork law (Assembly Bill 200, AB200) went into effect. The driving force behind the new law were FTCLDF farmer members, Laura and Monte Bledsoe of……...

How Resistant Starch via Potato Starch and Beans Helped a Type 2 Diabetic
I have a new report of results I'm posting about in advance of hitting up the topic of Resistant Starch next week, by means of some pretty interesting, well controlled and documented self experiments by two readers working in concert. For those just showing up or who haven't been interested so far, here's a list of my previous posts on the topic of Resistant Starch, in chronological order and current comment count—because there's a wealth of info and self experimentation results in the comments.
Prepare for the “Resistant Starch” Assimilation; Resistance is Futile (180 Comments)
Resistant Starch: 4-Letter Word? Nope. Goal: Create Mashed Potatoes A Diabetic Can Eat Every Day (452 Comments)
Resistant Starch: Now We're Getting Somewhere (68 Comments)
Resistant Starch: Now We're Getting Somewhere, Part 2 (35 links to research) (127 Comments)
The FTA Resistant Starch Trial: N=75 +++ (58 Comments)
Beans and the Second Meal Effect: Resistant Starch (36 Comments)
Low GI Mashed Potatoes! and the Resistant Starch Content of Foods (24 Comments)
So, the subject in this case is a woman, age 72, Type 2 for many years, overweight all of her adult life, on meds with supplemental slow and fast acting insulin, as needed. She maintains a very low carb diet that's mostly paleo in terms of avoiding grains and processed foods. While she has pretty reasonable postprandial control (likely via the LC regime), fasting blood glucose has always been a problem (170-190 mg/DL upon rising).
She began using Bob's Red Mill Potato Starch (80% RS by weight) at the end of May and two weeks later, reported in email:

How Stupid Are People? People are So Stupid 10,000+ Will Pay $1 Million+ For Fake Milk Called Soylent
It boggles the mind. Remember Rob Rhinehart? I’m sure you do because it’s hard to forget about a guy existing solely on vitamin puke. A few months ago we wrote about Soylent, an incredibly nutritious “food replacement” smoothie that Rob, a 24-year-old engineer, had been making and consuming as his only food source for almost……...

Totally Simple Pork Roast
Doesn’t matter what kind. Toss it in the crock pot with nothing except salt & pepper seasoning. Put it on low and let it go until tender. Or, do what I do. High for about 2 hours, low for another 4. Deglaze the pot with a few dribbles of white wine, move everything to a……...

Guys: How to Get Swole in a Day
2 Ways: 1) Fuckahard Deadlifts. Close to 1.5 times body weight and above, sky limit, but 1.5 will probably do. For reps, because injuries fuck you. Go for 4-6 reps, two times. 2) Or, drink a half to a whole gallon of whole milk. No pussy powders. Just go with the baby thing. Try both….…...

It’s Too Funny; Aerobatics, with someone afraid of flying
I have to suspect this is contrived. But I’ve watched it about 5 times and just can’t help but laf my ass off. Bill Strahan? Are you there? So the setup is that Anthony’s friend Josh agrees to go up with him as he typically, cooly, and with fabulous technical control flies an aerobatic airplane……...

Laf. Wooo is such a dumbass she can’t even figure out how to live like an omnivore rather than a nocturnal owl or some shit
Revisiting vitamin D3: YOU NEED THIS IF YOU ARE A NIGHT SHIFT WORKER. There’s your link, Wooo. And by the way, sweetheart, an afternoon in the sun at the pool in July is simply not comparable to supps, even 10K IU per day. My experience there goes back to 2008. …That said, I take back……...

The Page Perrin Project
How does one write a memorial for a small giant who never seemed to know it and certainly never showed it? “Richard; when I go, I don’t want to be remembered. I want to fade away. I want it to be like I was never even here.” – Page Perrin That’s what Page told me……...

Outside Play Interrupted
I learned yesterday afternoon upon a visit to his house, that my friend and hang gliding buddy, Page Perrin, died sitting in his chair in LZ-2, Hat Creek Rim, a week ago, Friday, July 26, 2013. This was to be my 15th consecutive year flying here. Page was either present at launch, landing, or flying……...
