First Drive Review: 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2004 to 2014.
By Steve Siler of Car and Driver
Hugging the outside wall of the banking at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at about 130 miles per hour, we had a thought: "This dash-top stitching looks perfect."
Yes, the fencing was whizzing by in a blur, along with banner ads for cigarettes and motor oil and car wax and other assorted stuff. We were coming up fast on the braking cones that would prepare us for our slow, second-gear, 170-degree left-hander leading into the infield road-course portion of our track drive of the 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and we're focusing on dash stitching?
Well, it is really nice. But we wouldn't have noticed it — at least not right then — if the new Gallardo weren't so calm, so collected, and so composed at that speed. Indeed, it was only at about 120 mph that we even started hearing any wind noise. This is a car that lives for triple-digit speeds.
A Really Good Car — No Bull
The Gallardo has been given a thorough refresh for 2009. And we should make one thing clear right now: This is more than a nose job. It has more power, a better interior, and a more cohesive design. It also has a new suffix — LP560-4 — to reflect its engine layout (longitudinale posteriore, meaning the longitudinally mounted engine sits behind the driver), power output (560 PS, which equals 552 horsepower), and the number of drive wheels (four).
This Car Is Gonna Be on Tons of Bedroom Walls
The body sides and the rear decklid have also been smoothed and filled, with single slits replacing the dozens of gills on the original Gallardo. The skinnier taillights no longer wrap up onto the decklid, and they now sit atop a wide band of grillwork that visually widens the rear end for that extra-exotic look. Taking a page from Ferrari's time-hewn handbook, Lambo fitted the decklid with a new plexiglass "window" to show drooling bystanders what's underneath.
More Power, More Torque, More Fun
The first twist of the key (Lamborghini hasn't yet embraced the starter-button thing) floods the cabin with an engine note that is sharp and clear. And unlike the Audi R8, with which the LP560-4 shares a few structural bits but no powertrain components, the Lambo is loud. Deliciously loud. As loud as legally possible. And thus, perfect.
Pull back on the e-gear's right shift "paddle" (it actually looks more like a hook fixed to the steering column), and after a split second of clutch uptake, the LP560-4 starts forward. The Gallardo has never been unruly, and it's still not. But there is some serious — serious — power behind that right pedal, and the farther one dips into it, the more it returns controlled and thrilling acceleration. Within only a few feet, we know one thing for sure: This is a fast car.
Prepare for Takeoff
Nothing happens for a nanosecond as the gear engages, but then the coupe rockets forward as if a truckload of TNT had exploded 10 feet from the rear bumper. Fun? Well, sort of. In spite of what is undoubtedly our best acceleration stunt, it sounds like it hurts the car. So we only do it once — okay, twice — fearing that we might spend the balance of our time with the Lambo in limp-home mode. Street starts, however, are a different story. After slowly rolling into an intersection in Vegas, we just hammer it; we break all four wheels loose for a second in a straight line — and then simply catapult forward, squealing and grinning like schoolboys who have just stolen the keys to Dad's, well, Lamborghini. This doesn't seem to hurt the car. But we know we are going straight to hell anyway.
For what it's worth, Lamborghini claims the LP560-4 is capable of charging from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds, which is quick. But we've driven many 3.7-second cars, and the LP560-4 feels a lot quicker. The last Gallardo Superleggera we tested weighed less than the LP560-4 and could hit 60 in 3.5 seconds. And that was with 40 fewer horsepower and 22 fewer pound-feet of torque. We can't wait to strap our test equipment to the LP560-4 and see just how far off Lambo's claims are. Ditto the quoted 202-mph top speed, which is up from 196.
Supremely Fast on the Road; Better on the Track
After our track experience, during which we lapped the speedway's infield and about half of the banking at least two dozen times, we can tell you that Corsa mode does indeed work, but the shifts are quite brutal. Thus, we'd say the mode is appropriate only in 10/10th driving. Anything less, and the Sport mode is a far better compromise — still quick but not neck breaking. Both modes automatically raise the stability-control threshold commensurately, and the automatic mode is pleasantly comfortable and thus suitable when carrying a weak-stomached passenger.
Naturally, we spent most of our track time in Corsa mode, which allowed the 30/70 front-to-rear torque split of the VT (viscous traction) all-wheel-drive system to do its thing, and the LP560-4 to slide around a good bit with some easy-to-catch tail-out fun before reining it in. Steering is quick, light, and precise, with good feedback through the Alcantara-covered wheel. The feeling of porkiness of the Gallardo has been mitigated somewhat, and body roll, if there is any, is absolutely undetectable.
All the LP560-4s present at the launch had the optional carbon-ceramic brakes, which never exhibited a trace of fade even after the cars had been track-driven for three hours without a break. They feel better calibrated than before, seeming less grabby. However, they are still far from supersmooth, especially with the transmission in Sport or Corsa mode, both of which downshift automatically (and occasionally harshly) during deceleration, making for herky-jerky stops in city driving. Oh, and the brakes still add $15,600 to the price, which is now $203,000, including the gas-guzzler penalty and freight charges.
All Grown Up and Better for It
Summarily, the Gallardo is all grown up, feeling every bit as solid and sophisticated as the Audi R8, only louder and faster. And although it isn't quite as raw as, say, the Porsche GT2 or Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series, neither does it have a big vacant space in the rear where seats were yanked out in the interest of turning things more hard-core. This Gallardo is hard-core enough.
Is it as good as its main rival, the Ferrari F430? Well, if it's not, it's closer than ever to matching the legendary cavallino's refinement and appeal. Looks like we'll have to put them side by side at 130 ticks to find out which has the better dash stitching.

Pitzer in China Academics
Study Trips
To deepen students' understanding of topics covered in the Chinese Society and Culture course, they will travel to various locations in China. Destinations may change from semester to semester, but the two major trips aim to expose them to one of China's remote provinces where their can observe the daily life of ethnic minority groups and a trip to the heartland of Han civilization to visit historic sites and cultural attractions. Past trips have included:
Hangzhou and Jiangnan area
Known as the "paradise on the earth" and encompassing the Yangtse River delta and including Shanghai, this is an area of natural beauty powered by cultural and economic strength. Historically the trading centers for salt, tea and silk, today the Jiangnan region still serves as the national center of trade and finance.
A city of ancient elegance, Xi'an, has witnessed the glories of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. The city wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still kept in its original form. View the Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, first discovered in the 1970s by a local farmer. In the old city, students will feel a strong touch of Islamic culture brought by immigrants from the West during ancient times, who maintain their traditional lifestyle and religious activities.
The center for the Bodhisattva of Wisdom, Wutaishan is shaped by both Han and Tibetan traditions in this concentration of 47 temples, monasteries, and nunneries.
Kaili in Guizhou
With a mix of beautiful landscape and well preserved Miao villages, Kaili presents a vivid example of China's diversity in ethnic cultures. Due to the difficulty in transportation in this mountainous province, regions like Kaili, have been turned into "reservations." This trip is a dramatic contrast after your days in Beijing.

SNELLVILLE - Last week Rick Fikes received the call a parent never wants to hear: "Your son's OK, but he's been shot.""After I talked to him, I heard his voice. After that at least I was breathing again," Fikes said of his reaction when he heard his son, David, a 22-year-old police officer in South Carolina, had been shot while on the job. "It's something I never want to hear again." The Snellville dad said David had been an officer for the Anderson Police Department in Anderson, S.C., only a short time - four months out of the police academy - when a response to an armed robbery last week at a pub left the officer with three shots to the chest in his bullet proof vest and two shots to the arm. "As far as being OK, I'm doing good," David Fikes said Monday. "I'm planning to go back to work." Fikes, a 2003 Shiloh High School grad, said he couldn't talk much about the incident due to ongoing investigations. Fikes father said David plans to go back to work Wednesday with as much zeal and excitement as before the incident. "Between the grace of God and whoever invented Kevlar, he (David) is here to have a lot to tell about it (the incident)," Rick Fikes said. "David told the police chief, 'You know, I know some people would be scared to go back, but that's not me.'" Rick Fikes said although proud of his son, he and his wife, Karen, have reservations about him going back to work. "Obviously we are worried and have always been worried about him when he works," Rick Fikes said. "We're all going to be up the night he goes back, but he's his own man, he's 22 years old, I can't tell him what to do."

Ask the Readers: Why will you teach your children frugality?
Published on - December 28th, 2012 (by Ellen Cannon)
This is a guest post from Suba. She believes in living life instead of existing and she shares her thoughts at Wealth Informatics, a personal finance blog focused on living a high quality of life by intelligently leveraging knowledge, time and money.
"Kids these days feel so entitled," said my childhood friend. "Remember the good old days when we never asked our parents for anything?" she added, as we sipped a cup of coffee and started reminiscing about our childhood in India.
My friend grew up poor in India. She shared a 10′ x10′ thatched hut with her mother, sister, brother and grandparents. She saw her father only once a week when he showed up drunk to beat up her mother for more alcohol money. The women slept inside on the unfinished dirt floor, while the men slept outside. The hut would collapse every monsoon season and flood with water up to hip level. They would camp in empty marriage halls or temples during that time. They never had electricity. Homework and studying were done by street light.
Everything from uniforms, textbooks and notebooks were acquired for free or secondhand. She walked five kilometers one way to school, without any shoes, as they were not affordable. She started working at 13, tutoring other kids. She got new clothes once a year when politicians gave away stuff for votes.
There were no food stamps, libraries, Internet, cable, TV, phones, beds or running water.
I have had a cushy life compared to hers. I enjoyed a blessed middle-class life. Both my parents were educated and employed. So, by no stretch can I say I struggled, even though my parents, grandparents, sister and I lived in a one-bedroom house where we slept on the floor and had trouble getting water six months out of the year. We didn't have air conditioning, a washing machine, a dishwasher or any luxuries, but were never deprived of any necessities either. We got a phone line when I was in the final year of high school. I biked five kilometers one way to school, and to this day my parents get around everywhere using public transportation.
Twenty years later, there we were, sitting in her comfortable porch overlooking a small garden, in a suburb of a major city in India. She is now a successful physiotherapist, happily married, with two adorable kids, leading a comfortable middle-class life. I am an immigrant to the U.S., earning an above-average living.
"We did alright," she concluded. "I just wish I could find a good way to impress upon my kids that life is not always flowing with milk and honey."
I don't have kids, but that comment stuck with me. I have been asked to write about frugality lessons from India in my blog. I have at least seven or eight draft posts that touch upon this subject, but I never hit publish on any of those. I'm unable to convince myself that these tips will help anyone. Why? Plenty of reasons. To name a few:
- Yes, we were frugal but that was a necessity, not a choice. The problem is, when extreme frugality is not a necessity, it becomes difficult to hold on to it. My grandparents paid for their house in cash because there was no concept of a home mortgage. Consequently, their house was very small. My parents took a small loan from their workplace to buy a house and their house was a little bigger. Now my friends have taken mortgages for 90 percent of the value of their palatial houses. When our society changes, we change with it. A simple tip of "buy your home with cash" won't help anyone if they already don't have the mind-set.
- Different environment, different culture, different priorities. I have read more than one post recommending that people should make their own clothes. In India it made sense because the materials and labor were cheap. Anyone in the U.S. who has tried knitting as a hobby knows how expensive it is. And unless I want to do it, why would I want to waste three to four hours of my time making a dress for my little girl when I can buy cute outfits for a couple of dollars?
- Some frugality tips cross over to being cheap. Sometimes, I have seen people do things that are unethical, if not downright illegal, in the name of frugality. One of the shortcomings of developing countries is that a lot of them are corrupt and, unfortunately, some people bring that attitude with them.
So what can I teach my kids who will grow up in a comfortable middle-class society in a developed country? I can't give them frugality tips; it just won't stick. Does that mean I have nothing to pass on to the next generation when it comes to money? That doesn't seem right. It was one of those questions I decided that I will automatically get the answer to when the time comes and I moved on.
So what will I teach my kids?
Just to make it clear I am not giving parenting advice — I'm not qualified to do that. Rather, this post is about what I would like to teach my kids when I become a parent.
I am in the fortunate position of having been brought up in humble surroundings and now working in a developed country, leading a comfortable life. I want to give my children the comforts I can afford, but at the same time I want them to appreciate how blessed they are to get them.
I will teach them…
- There are plenty of people who have it worse than you. Appreciate what you have and focus on taking advantage of that. Be thankful for that instead of focusing on what you don't have.
- Shed the sense of entitlement. The Indian system is competitive. If you want something you have to work for it (minus the caste system, but I am talking in general). There are no food banks, unemployment benefits, Medicare or Social Security.
- Take responsibility. I feel responsible for my parents' retirement, my kids' education and my own retirement. Growing up in India has taught me to believe that no one cares about my money more than I do. So saving comes naturally to me.
- Get priorities in order. Realize what is important in your life and figure out if you have the means to provide for it. If not, eliminate or minimize what you spend on things that are NOT important to you. Everything else will automatically fall into place.
- Help others as much as you can. You don't need money for this. At least in developed countries, most of the time, people who are struggling to come out of poverty have access to need-based aid or government assistance. What they lack is a mentor or someone to guide them along the right path and tell them where to look for things they need for the future. They need someone to show them there is a world full of opportunities waiting for them, and give them the hope and confidence they need to get out of poverty.
- Contribute to and take advantage of your social capital. The family system in India is very strong. Now, more families are becoming nuclear, but that doesn't stop them from relying on each other. Grandparents babysit the grandkids, some uncle or second cousin who is a plumber will spare a few minutes to give an honest opinion, an extended family member would happily provide meals for a few days when you are sick. Even in the U.S., immigrant communities are some of the most closely knit communities. Offer help and use your network to find help.
- There are plenty of non-material ways to feel rich. I feel rich when I can spend time with my family. My mother's home cooking is worth more than the world's most expensive restaurant meal to me.
- Be resourceful. I won't teach them to make their own clothes or grow their own food just for the sake of saving money. I will teach them how to do all those things and be resourceful because they are good skills to have.
- And finally, I would teach them to never stop learning. Both the developed and developing countries have their own strengths and weaknesses. Wherever life takes you, if you think their way is better and don't see other cultures and practices with an open mind, you will never grow.
When it comes down to it, most people already know quite a few frugality tips. Whether or not you want to actually practice what you know is what makes the difference.
Why be frugal? Is it to get out of debt? Amass a big bank balance? Or is it to appreciate and conserve what is available to us in the best possible way in order to achieve fulfillment in life? Ultimately, I want my children to be good citizens of the world. They won't learn that by memorizing tips but by imbibing the right principles which they can apply to any situation. By living my life according to the principles I've outlined above, I hope to teach them by example, on how to evaluate what goals are important in their life and how they can achieve them.
This article is about Ask the Readers, Frugality, Kids
As a young adult I have to say I am really thankful to my parents to have taught me frugality. It is not only a question of need, it's more a lifestyle. I don't have a big income and am still hughly dependent on my parents on the finance side. Luckily I don't have debts, having the luck to live in a country were education is practically for free. With this setting I consider myself having enough money to live at ease and without having to worry about not having enough money to get food at the end of the month.
If I'm in that situation now, it's mainly because my parents taught me from early on to handle my own money, because they encouraged me to take up holiday jobs as soon as I could, so building up savings from you on, and because they also taught me to live frugally.
Comparing myself today (23, student) with other people having the same amount of money at their disposal, but always struggle with having not enough, I am really thankful that my parents taught me all this.
Great post Suba. I hope to show my future kids many different situations, maybe around the world, so they can realize their luck. I hope they can value money enough to preserve it and use it wisely, but can be able to spend on themselves and what is important to them, as well as give back generously. I hope they learn how to minimize waste, be it food, money, time… and know the value of things to make the best and longest use of any resource.
So they don't make the same mistakes Id id with my money!
great post!
Excellent post. Thank you.
I think number 1 on your list is key. My boys are only 2 and 4 right now, but as they get older I really want to strive to find ways for them to realize just how good they have it. We don't take vacations to Disney or wear name brand clothes, but we have never once had to worry about not having something to eat for dinner. We will be volunteering at the homeless shelter and things like that, but I would love to hear some ideas on how to show our kids how good they have it.
Take the kids on a trip to India!
Yes your stories how you got from one situation to the current situation would be interesting and informative!
Great discussion on frugality. I too grew up in India and have seen poverty firsthand. I'd like to teach my children about frugality because it is a good lesson for them to keep their eye on long-term goals. Frugality forces you to make choices on getting something now vs. later.
Thanks a lot for publishing my guest post, Ellen and thanks everyone for the great discussion!!
For those of you asking for more on how my friend got to where she is now, I will happily write a follow up.
I realize I cannot really "teach" my kids anything, it has to come from how and what we do with our money. I don't think it will be a easy task by any means. Hopefully by living what we would like to teach we can make a good example for them to follow.
I teach my kids frugality because frugality can help you to be secure in life. I mostly grew up poor by U.S. standards and we're not too far removed from being working poor now. Social mobility is not great in the U.S. so it's not outside the realm of possibility that my kids will stay in a similar income level.
Being careful with your money, planning ahead, avoiding debt, and avoiding addictions, especially to tobacco, can help you live more comfortably on a small income.
I am frugal now because I had to be to get out of debt I piled up when I was younger and foolish. I want my kids to be frugal so they won't have to live like paupers to pay off debt, so they can enjoy their lives and have the peace of mind that comes with being debt free.
A Well written Article Suba. Things have changed a lot in India now on poverty front, however still lot needs to be done before we reattain the glory of pre-imperialism days.
Nice Post.
I believe in the saying that 'The more bigger and taller a tree, the more deeper are its roots'.
"the glory of pre imperialism days" ???
I have taught my kids to be conscious of the value of money – how it's made and how it's wisely spent.
Ivan Illich wrote: "In a consumer society, there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy." I don't want my kids to be slaves.
For my oldest child's generation at least, there seems to be less addiction to stuff-itis as there is to experience-itis. It seems to be a facebook-envy thing.
a good article…more what I was expecting from this site
What a great post. I think one of the best things to do with children to teach them the value of money and frugality to to take them places like India or other countries where things are so different from the privileged life we have here in North America. Travel can do a lot of good for children (if they are old enough to understand).
Great article!
I remember Liz Taylor saying:
"You don't have to be a millionaire to go and serve food to people in need, you don't have to be a millionaire to do what you can to help others!"
I think she was a geat sample of what we all need, more humanity and to be thankful ad know that we are already rich.
I enjoyed the article, however, I have to say this…if you have frugal skills, no matter what happens you will always be secure. We live in a strange economy. There is no guarantee that the kids of comfortably middle class parents will grow up to be the same (see the numbers of unemployed college graduates). We live in an economy where anything can happen to anyone, and often does. Those frugal skills foster independence and creativity.
As far as the do it yourself versus buying it thing…well, I can promise you that a knit scarf I make myself is better quality than the five buck one at Target or Walmart. And I can make it in any shade I want, at any length, rather than relying on what happens to be available in the store on any given day.
I have to agree about quality. If I want to buy something that is as unique and well-made as what I can crochet (hopefully one day I'll learn to knit), then I'd have to spend quite the bundle to get it and it won't be available at Target.
I read this article right before going to a family dinner this weekend. At the dinner, my sister-in-law alternated between A) complaining about the timing/inadequacy of food stamps, not being able to qualify for other welfare, and being so broke she couldn't afford the drive to visit family, like, ever, but we could feel free to come pick her up and take her to dinner whenever we wanted…and B) bragging about her brand new car, new living room furniture in her new apartment (and all her plans to decorate it a'la Style magazine), new Samsung Galaxy S-Whatever, new I-pod, etc. After a couple rounds of this, I made a couple tactful remarks about the hypocrisy of the situation, which was met with more complaining about the unfairness of life (apparently I was so tactful she thought I was on her side). I kept thinking about this article, and could hardly believe that she could really think she has a rough life. I will teach my kids about frugality and all it entails so they are never so ignorant.
I love your article…first one I read in the new year and it really struck a chord. The lessons you will teach your children are priceless and the reasons given for for being resourceful and enjoying life in non-material ways especially hit home with me. Time with friends and family and doing one's best to understand other's viewpoints rather than insisting on one's own, go a long way in making the world a better place.
Our family spent most of our children's lives overseas due to work. We have seen and experienced first hand poverty, not to the degree which you describe, but a world away from what family members in the US experienced. Our sons are now grown and making their own way in life, but have often commented how grateful they are for the close family bonds we have. Recently one commented that while they did not have the latest gadgets while growing up, they always had what they needed and they never felt deprived.
Please keep sharing posts like this.
I am grateful my parents taught me to live frugal but to dream big. Growing up I never felt rich. My parents would always say that "its not going to be a very big Christmas this year." Secretly my dad was very wealthy. He invested his money in rental properties and other things. My parents helped me find ways to make my own money to buy my own things. I learned so much from that. I feel that even if you are rich you shouldn't live rich and give your kids whatever they want. Growing up this way gave me the desire to make it big on my own. Thanks, Mom and Dad

MAD SHOUTOUT TO DRUOXtheSHREDDER WHO MADE THIS GAME ACTUALLY GOOD!!!!!!!
Hey once you're done playing this 1-minute pile o crap, how about you buy an actual full game of it over on Steam?
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 22, 2013
Just curious, how long did it take you to make the paid version of this? It's a lot longer and has a lot of new mechanics that clearly took a lot of work, but you also how a pretty unpolished UI and use images for some of the hats.
Just seems kind of weird how you put a lot more work into some parts than others...
About 9 months. It's just me doing design, art, code and animation so no single part of it is especially perfect.
Also I fuckin hated working on the game after a while. I didn't expect it to ever get as big as it did, so I didn't plan for it to be anything impressive from the start. That's why some of the high-priority art, like the first 5 level backgrounds, are spiced up for Steam while a lot of other stuff that doesn't get as much attention is left behind.
Rated 4 / 5 stars September 20, 2013
I love this demo! I might play the steam version soon! :D
Rated 3 / 5 stars September 18, 2013
Great intro! Great writing! Great voice acting and sound quality! Great music! I'm not even 2 minutes in and I can't help but wanna buy this! I like how the grass gets burnt. When the hand comes in holding you if you jump at it and go outside is possible to see two crab hands holding you and then you shooting the laser. Glitch much? It's so god damn hard on the first level! The mouse will lag and then you're basically shit out of luck. I respawned and kept falling to my death due to the spawn point. I was falling so I moved towards a platform and the platform pushed me off. It pushed me off it. What the fuck? I just hope the steam version is better.
Yeah I made this in a weekend. It was about a year before we even thought about making a Steam version.
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 15, 2013
Fucking love the Music, Great Game by the way
Rated 5 / 5 stars September 10, 2013
Fun little game. Nice voice acting from Druox too!

Great Conversion Van by Spiczar from Tennessee on 12/13/2006. Trim: 1998 Chevrolet Express G1500, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: It is very roomy & comfortable. My van has the MK III conversion, which adds a lot of creature comforts to the traveling experience.
Cons: While the van is equiped with the towing package - intended to pull boats, trailers & such - it totally ruins the transmission. The van's frame may be designed to pull such loads, but the vehicle's transmission isn't. Also, the plastic and wiring used in the MK III conversion are about as cheap as they come.
Overall review: This is a great van. It gets decent, but not great, gas mileage. It is very roomy, comfortable and - when equiped with a conversion package - a pleasure to drive or ride in. Replacing the conversion audio/video wiring with heavy-duty automotive wiring is highly recomended, as is tossing out the towing package and never letting the thought of towing ANYTHING with this van cross your mind. Your transmission - and your wallet - will thank you later.

The 'green rush' is on for marijuana companies
Changes in state pot laws are encouraging some cannabis-related companies to go public.
These are heady times for supporters of legalized marijuana as well as those looking to cash in on pot's growing national acceptance. This month, voters in Washington state and Colorado agreed to legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults. And medical marijuana is currently legal in 18 states and Washington D.C.
Of course, marijuana remains illegal by federal law. But people involved in what some are calling the "green rush" are still looking at business and investment opportunities in cannabis and its production.
And as with nearly all markets, some people are willing to take the risk.
"Think of it as another dot.com explosion," said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp Inc. (HEMP), in a recent press release.
And according to an investor fact sheet for Medical Marijuana Inc. (MJNA), the current U.S. medical marijuana industry is estimated at $17 billion, with expectations it could grow up to about $29 billion by 2016.
"It was almost unthinkable 10 years ago that you would have legitimate, fully reporting to the SEC companies that were in the nature of pure plays, with positions in the medical marijuana industry," says Sterling Scott, CEO of Los Angeles-based GrowLife Inc. (PHOT), a consortium of companies that sells products for indoor growing.
Scott, a former federal regulatory attorney, estimates there are about 10 cannabis-related companies currently being traded as over-the-counter stocks. Most OTCs are relatively small and often new companies that don't yet meet the requirements to be listed or traded on exchanges like Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange.
He breaks down these marijuana sector firms into four groups:
- Established companies, like GrowLife, that sell equipment and expendables for the cannabis industry.
- Companies like Medical Marijuana, whose mission, according to its website, is to become the industry's "premier cannabis and hemp industry innovators."
- Groups like Hemp Inc. that are looking to develop a legal market for the industrial and commercial use of hemp (which contains only trace amounts of marijuana's active ingredient) in products such as paper, oils and cloth.
- Companies focused on the clinical, medical use of cannabis in areas such as cancer, inflammation and pain treatment.
"The safest position during the Gold Rush in California in the 1800s was to sell (miners) the equipment they needed to go out and explore for gold," explains Scott. "Our company has taken a fairly conservative position, as to the kind of things that we can engage in, because of the federal law position. And we intend, until there's a great deal more clarity on the federal side, to continue to be fairly conservative. But that's not true of all these companies."
So are these small stocks worth an investor's time? It depends on how the future plays out for the sector.
"If the new marijuana laws in Colorado and Washington… are a sign of things to come, if you're a firm that can benefit by this industry being created into a legal and viable industry, then if you can get in early enough, then those stocks may go up in value," says Mac Clouse, professor of finance at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business.

It's about time! Does anyone realize that many professionals that you come in contact with everyday and depend on for medical care and many other services have been enjoying this for many years? Most people who do get up and go to work everyday and contribute to society as well if not better than those who drink alcohol and suffer with a hangover for half of the day.
And then there is the savings from enforcement and prosecution that will not be necessary for everyday use. The potential income from taxes alone is good enough reason to stop fighting a losing war on this harmless herb.
mairjuana jokes and non-sense aside, this is a wonderful possibilty for the US to actually produce and distribute hemp and cannabis and reap the economic rewards. it's about time we matured and recognized the impact of the laws, social views and acceptance of marijuana.
I thought the cartels were the 'bad guy' so why are we literally debating such a minute issue? take the financial stream away from entities such as cartels, end the awful misinformation and use the tax proceeds to fund public programs.
Iowa is going to drag their feet so long that we will miss out on the industrial hemp aspect of it all
and sadly ITS BEEN GROWN HERE BEFORE !
As up tight and conservative as Iowa is I cant believe that the same sex thing past and we still cant make a SAFER CHOICE and burn one freely , Instead of using alcohol for relaxation and recreation besides all the MEDICAL benefits ?
IT IS JUST A PLANT and one that cant harm anyone ? so WTF ?
If anyone still thinks abolishing inheritors and the corporate veil of anonymity is wrong, think again.

THE DATE IS OFFICIAL, THE MEET WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 16th and 17th!!!
( Everyone is welcome to come on Friday the 15th and camp at HONE QUARRY campground, it is at the bottom of the mountain before the shorter trail. For tail 2 (the longer one), camping is all along switzer dam lake.)
LISTEN UP!! Everyone with CB's will be on channel 25
There will be two convoys
1. The first convoy will meet at 257 grocery in dayton, Va. This is also a gas station and the only stop for gas on the trip so gas up if you are running low. The plan is to meet on March 16th at 10:30 and leave by 11 once everyone has arrived. Everyone then will head up to Flagpole knob and have some fun on the trails along the way. (Prerunner friendly as long as no rain) The trail to flagpole knob is about 3 miles once you get to the fire road. This is for some mild off roading and many obstacles along the way. Everyone will meet up at flagpole knob and set up for camp and hang out that night. Then wake up the next morning and do some more off roading or head home.
Address for first convoy ( The shorter trail is 3.4 miles to flagpole)
6939 Briery Branch Rd,
Dayton, VA 22821
2. Now for the serious off roaders who want to be on the trail for about 4 to 5 hours will meet at MCdormans Grocery which is also a gas station and the nearest one so gas up if your low. Everyone will meet here around 9:00 and leave by 9:30 on March 16th. This trail is longer and approxiamately 11 to 12 miles which at about 10mph takes around 4 to 5 hours. You can google switzer dam to flagpole knob on google maps and look. Many obstacles along the way. Trail will take us all the way to Flagpole knob and that is where everyone will set up for camp that night and then do some more off-roading on sunday the 17th.
Address For 2nd Convoy ( The longer trail is 11.9 miles to flagpole)
10427 Rawley Pike,
Hinton, VA 22831-2210
(This trip is intended for everyone to have a good time and everyone will have a meeting point which will be flagpole knob where the 2 convoys will meet and camp for the night)
Will be updating on a regular basis so more info to come
This is where we will all be camping
Located below is a map where the two trails are. Notice where it says skidmore fork lake (aka switzer dam) that is where the longer trail will meet and the Briery Branch Gap is where the shorter trail is.

A group of overight delivery viagra four autonomous, wave-powered robots has completed a trip from San Francisco to Hawaii and http://zvezdegranda.rs/viagra-online-us are now continuing on in two pairs, one set to Australia, and the other set to Japan. They are seeking to carry out the PacX Challenge in which they are trying to usa levitra set the record for the longest ocean voyage by an unmanned ocean vessel and to demonstrte the cialis price abilities of these robots.
The Wave Gliders are built with a two-part construction, with a floating part, which also contains solar panels to operate on-board data collecting equipment and communications equipment, and a glider part, which is connected to the float with a cable and which is used to provide propulsion for the vehicle. The float measures 208 x 60 cm (about 82 x 24 inches) and the glider is 40 x 191 cm (about 16 x 75 in). The two are connected with a 7 meter (about 23 feet) cable. The robot weighs 90 kg (about 200 pounds).
The robots can be used for station-keeping data collection, as well as for autonomous travel, as the current project demonstrates. The Wave Glider has a speed of 0.4 to 2.0 knots (about 0.45 to 2.3 mph or 0.75 to 3.7 kph), but they are able to operate autonomously for up to 1 year. By being able to be autonomously operated, it is possible to cheapest 100 viagra uk do data collection at a remote ocean location without needing to use fuel and human effort to take a buoy to the location to deploy it and to keep it resupplied.

Governor Andrew Cuomo gave a passionate speech against gun violence Saturday afternoon in Harlem.
"It has to stop, and it's time to act and that's the government's responsibility to stand up and do something that protects the people in society, and not tell it why it can't be done but figure out how to get it done," said Cuomo.
The governor made his remarks at a meeting of the National Action Network.
Earlier in the week, Cuomo signed the toughest gun control law in the nation and the first to be passed following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
Cuomo says the crackdown had to be quickly passed signed into law to stop the run on assault weapons and ammunition.
In his weekly radio address to the nation, President Obama asked the public to urge their members of Congress to support new gun laws.

Octuplets Mom's Publicist Lashes Out
A publicist for octuplets mom Nadya Suleman, the mother of eight plus six, is vigilant about protecting her client's interests.
Last Friday the mother of newborn octuplets did what any single, unemployed mom of
six who just gave birth to octuplets would do -- she hired a
And that publicist is pissed.
Joann Killeen, the spokesperson for Suleman, told momlogic she's fed up with people jumping to conclusions about her client. "They don't know the situation. They don't know her, yet they feel the right to criticize."
"The truth is," says Killeen, "No mother says to herself, 'I want eight babies at once.'"
Indeed, moms in particular have been railing against the 32-year-old for her "unconventional" family planning practices, voicing their opinions on message boards and blogs. "Thank God there's no Internet available for patients in the hospital," says Killeen, "I know what people are writing about her -- but she doesn't. My job is to protect my client."
The public outcry has reportedly made donations to Nadya and her enormous clan almost non-existent. Makers of diapers, formula and other products are keeping their distance from a story with this much controversy. Killeen says all of this is just conjecture. "Just because I don't have a truck backed up to my office with donations doesn't mean anything. What do they need diapers for at this point? The babies are still in the hospital, they won't be out for 10 to 12 weeks."
Do you think the California octuplets deserve donations or financial assistance?

It's not the babies' fault they're here. You give the mother and the grandparents a rough time, you make it more difficult for them to care for these newborns. I hope some individuals and organizations less obsessive about how these kids came to be will do the decent thing and help.
I don't think they deserve help. I think she had no business going to a fertility specialist in the first place, but if she could afford the fertility treatments, you'd think she'd make sure she could afford the babies.
This woman obviously has mental problems. What would possess any woman in her right mind to try to have other children while having 6 at home she is unable to care for without assistance?
Hard call. I couldn't vote to allow the addional 8 or the previous 6 to wallow in the squalor that is their mother's life. It is obvious that the mother's decision to get pregnant was a calculated decision and a bid for attention. She has received attention, that's for sure.
I would not give that baby making bimbo one lousy dime.
Oh, poor, poor! "rolls eyes"
The publisist is "pissed?" WTF was she expecting, mailbags of "new baby" cards and truckfulls of pampers?
Perhaps the Mom NEEDS to see what people are saying, perhaps it will bring her back down to reality and she will realize what a mess she put herself in.
Anon your absolutely right it is not the babies fault nor is it the fault of babies all over the world who are born into impoverished situations. But in this situation the woman made the decision to create a child artifically knowing that she could not support that child which became children financially or emotionally. This was not a whoops situation. This was a planned pregnancy.
I personally have five children with my husband of which we support without public assistance. We had planned on having six but made a mature decision to stop because the change in the economy would make it irresponsible for us to have another one.
By supporting this woman financially we are sending a message to other irresponsible woman out there who might think this is a good idea.
If she cannot support them maybe they should be given to homes who can not only provide the financial support but the emotional support as well. Having five children myself I'm finding it difficult to believe that she can give 14 children the love and time that they so desperately need in their lives.
My opinion is the state should remove these children, fix her so she can never do this again and no one should give this Mom a cent. Honestly I think she did this on purpose hoping it would land her on easy street.
"The truth is," says Killeen, "No mother says to herself, 'I want eight babies at once.'"
Uhm…didn't she have the 8 embryos implanted? Didn't she DECIDE to have a LOT of babies? If she didn't want the chance at 8, perhaps she should have had fewer implanted?
Am I missing something?
This woman is sick sick sick..the fertility specialist should have his be suspended for doing fertility treatments on a 33 year old woman with six children under six who is unemployed! Jumping to conclusions? How can you not? i will be paying for these kids who in my mind are already the victim of neglect..there is no way she can care for all of these kids..I don't pity her. I pity the children that have to call her mother.
The babies deserve to be placed in homes where they can be cared for by parents who are not mentally ill, as their mother apparently is, with parents who can afford to financially support them.
How is this unemployed woman paying her publicist? I suspect this publicist is also an opportunist, hoping that someone is foolish enough to offer the idiot mother a dollar or two.
I also pity the babies, and the 6 children who will be put on the back burner when the babies come home. None of her children will ever receive the love and attention they deserve.
I will boycott any company that gives her freebies or support. How about you?
Just because she had a litter of kids this publicist thinks they are entitled to free stuff and book deals. I hope she gets nothing!! Sane people typically have a plan for raising and providing for children before they birth them. I'm so glad Americans are waking up and not rewarding stupid behavior.
Let the publicist and the doctor support her! I hope NO company gives her anything except a full time job.
If this mother is truly responsible, she'd want to do something to insure her children have a good life. The responsible thing to do would be to give the babies up for adoption to people who can provide for them. As an adopted child, I'm sure glad my birth mom, who had way too many kids, gave me to a family who could take care of me.
Oh what a warm and humane community this is…She may have issues but she is a University grad. Can't just label her plain dumb. Going on the attack with someone who just delivered eight babies says more about the attackers than the mom. I doubt the family will starve even without the good will of their neighbours. They seem resourceful, the grandfather pointed out that the only reason they're not alright is because of the media attention.
I could understand all this hatred if we were talking about some horrible criminal, say, a serial killer. It would make sense to me then. But this lady just gave life instead of taking it. Can't you warm and fuzzy folk save your hatred for a better occasion?
The fact remains this woman already had six kids and wasn't happy with that so she wanted more. That proves she's having kids for the wrong reason and needs psychological help.
I really don't care if she gets freebies or not, but I do hope one of things she gets its counseling.
I will NEVER support any TV show or series she does, nor will I buy any book.
She gives infertility treatments a bad stereotype and she gives only children a bad name.
where is the local DCF and do they not see that they and we as taxpayers will end up footin the bill for this crappy decision by what is obviusly a disterbed woman
This 33 year old single woman was unemployed, had 6 children under 8 (one of which has autism), was already receiving Welfare and lived with her bankrupt parents. She then intentionally had 8 embryos implanted in her (some say that she went to Mexico to have it done). Who did she think was going to pay for her 14 children???? The taxpayers of course. Why should she be rewarded by anyone (Social Services, the public or Media outlets etc.) for her selfishness and arrogance. There are so many more deserving people than her in society who get neither donations nor financial assistance even though they're in need ot it.
According to the publicist, this was not planned. So what do women do when they give birth to children they knowingly can not afford and did not plan? They place them for adoption.
The publicist is right, it wasn't planned! The plan was to sell an interview/book deal/photo spread for $2 million but that backfired.
If this woman was mentally stable in the least bit, why isn't there a man in the picture? Because I am not buying the whole "she always wanted to be a single mother" bit.
If the mother doesn't get paid, that publicist doesn't get paid.
The woman allegedly declared bankruptcy last year and is a single parent with 6 other children. Where is the oney coming from to pay for this publicist?????
These children should be adopted by people who can properly care for them. I don't want to have to pay for this selfish woman to have babies. Who is paying her medical bills….you and I are, who will pay to feed and cloth these babies…..you and I are. If she has such a self confidence problem that she needs more children so that she feels loved maybe she should have seen a therapist not a fertility specialist. Who paid for the fertility doctor? I bet the tax payers see that bill too.

Hi Jurga - thanks a lot for coming along last night. I hope you enjoyed the gig. Did you find the other Meetup people - Shireen, Melissa and Janet? I do apologise if you didn't. The person hosting the Meetup for me hadn't hosted before and didn't check to see if anyone new had joined the list so she may not have realised she should be looking for you. But I hope you had a nice time! See you at another gig - maybe in the London Jazz Festival? I'm going to host one myself for Mark Jennet.
Looking forward to meeting you tonight Jurga. There is some great jazz in London and lovely people attending it. :-)
Hey Jurga
I just want to invite you to "Entrepreneurial Women's Network Launch Party".

Hi Jurga, I hope you're well. It's been a while since we spoke last.
I wanted to let you know personally about my new MeetUp group:
I'm running some exciting events for entrepreneurs to encourage collaboration and foster the idea of an entrepreneurial society. You mentioned you would like to be a 'fixer' for small businesses. I think the '10-twenty' series and speed networking would be perfect for you!
Hope to see you there :)
Hi Tara,
Haven't seen you since you left Shubham. How are you? Please join Osho Essence and looking forward to seeing yu sometime.
Love and a hug

Two boats, each with several passengers, were heavily damaged when they collided. The boat operators and passengers escaped injury in the crash. The investigation showed a boat operated by Donald Murphy of Des Moines, Iowa was headed north on the lake and failed to notice an eastbound boat being operated by Michael Snyder of Lake Kabetogama. Evasive action taken by Snyder at the last moment helped to lessen the severity of the collision.

Adult Book Club
Published on Thursday, April 25, 2013 - 9:40am
May's Book Club selection is A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty by New York Times-bestselling author Joshilyn Jackson. A saga of three generations of women, whose lives are changed forever by a devastating secret, this one-part mystery, one-part comedy is a page-turner you will never forget.
When a small grave is discovered in their backyard, 15-year-old Mosey Slocumb becomes determined to find out why. Mosey's mother, haunted by her own teenage demons, struggles to keep the past where she left it: behind her. But Mosey wants answers and she will have to learn that while on the cusp of womanhood, innocence can be gained and lost.
Join us on May 22 at 6:30 p.m. as we discuss what Sara Gruen, New York Times-bestselling author of Water for Elephants, calls "a heart-thumping mystery, an edge-of-your-seat drama, and a fiercely sweet comedy all at once, with a fistful of crazy-brave characters who reach from up the wild pages and grip your heart."

Erik Trinkaus, PhD, (December 24, 1948) is a prominent paleoanthropologist and expert on Neanderthal biology and human evolution. Trinkaus researches the evolution of the species Homo sapiens and recent human diversity, focusing on the paleoanthropology and emergence of late archaic and early modern humans, and the subsequent evolution of 'anatomically modern' humanity. Trinkaus is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a contributor to publications including Natural History and Scientific American, and is frequently quoted in the popular media. Trinkaus is the Mary Tileston Hemenway Professor of Physical Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis
Trinkaus received his bachelor of arts degree in Art History and Physics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and his master's and PhD degrees in anthropology from the University of Pennsylvania, the latter in 1975.
Trinkaus' research has been a major contributor to current debates about human origins. Trinkaus supports theories related to various forms of multiregional evolution, a hypothesis held by a minority of scholars in the field of human evolution. Based on analysis of early human fossils from Europe, Trinkaus suggests that Neanderthals have made significant contributions to the gene pool of modern Europeans.

The 2009 Deslauriers
This is Jeff Drouin Deslauriers playing goal in the AHL. He's without his stick and appears to be stopping a shot that originated from the top of the score clock.
The Oilers signed JDD the other day to a one-way contract. It's a two-year deal that apparently pays him (thanks to Louiss at HF) $550,000 and then $750,000.
I like the signing. It's very low risk for a few reasons. Unlike the EIG era paying Deslauriers $550,000 to play in the AHL is possible. Also, it's a stretch to suggest that Deslauriers is one of the 60 best goalies available to NHL teams so the waiver risk isn't huge.
Plus, and this is the important thing, if they lose the guy to waivers it isn't the end of the world. Unless Deslauriers is one of those rare players who shows up in the big leagues and becomes better than the minor league numbers suggest (Matt Stairs was a little that way) due to ballpark effects et cetera then we're dealing with a marginal NHL player who is likely to have several stops along the way.
One quote I found especially interesting came from one of our favorites: "Jeff made some significant strides last season and now appears ready to challenge for a spot on our hockey club," Oilers VP Kevin Prendergast said in a statement on the Oilers site.
Let's see it that's true: Jeff's made significant strides. The best way to measure goalie performance is save percentage, and although (like E.R.A.) it can change from season to season quality goalies finish in their respective league's top 10 yearly. So in order for KP's statement to be true then JDD would need to have improved markedly year over year. Right?
- 06-07 Deslauriers SP: .908 (tied for 21st)
- 07-08 Deslauriers SP: .912 (16th overall)
Slight improvement, but enough for a one-way deal? No. Perhaps Prendergast meant Deslauriers was more consistent? Maybe Deslauriers had more periods of strong goaltending and fewer times in the sewer this past season.
- months over .920: 3
- months under .900: 2
- Best month: .923 in 7 games
- Worst month: .865 in 5 games
2007-08 Deslauriers
- months over .920: 3
- months under .900: 1
- Best month: .934 in 10 games
- Worst month: .861 in 6 games
It doesn't look like Deslauriers has shown tremendous improvement year over year but what I don't know about goaltending is a lot. Deslauriers is 8 percentage points clear of his G partner Devan Dubnyk (.912 to .904) and was one of the two best options a year ago (JDD was at .908 with the Penguins in 06-07, compared to Andrew Penner at .891 but took a back seat to Nolan Schaeffer who posted an impressive .914SP in 15 games with Scranton).
I think this is a case the team deciding to give him a chance in training camp to push Dwayne Roloson for the backup job. If he performs well enough, the Oilers may very well keep 3 goalies until Roloson's salary reduces to the point where Colorado takes him off the Oilers hands. If he doesn't, they send him down and lose his rights or pay him a little extra for his trouble.
Not really an endorsement so much as a strategic use of assets.

Best Active Outdoor Camera
It seems to be a rule: The more fun you have on a vacation, the fewer photos you take. It makes sense when you think about it. You're out learning how to surf in Hawaii or skiing the back country in Jackson Hole, and the last thing you want to do is stop the action so you can get your camera out of your bag and snap a few shots. Plus, most cameras are so delicate, you wouldn't even want to take them out for fear they would get wet or dirty.
Here is the answer to your prayers. This camera, which is so small it looks like a spy toy, comes with a wrist strap and a waterproof case. And it's digital, so you can get still shots or video (sound too!) without any film. Whenever you want to take a shot, just lift your wrist, flip it up, and snap. It also has a cool accessory that allows you to attach it to your bike helmet. It weighs just 4.7 ounces but can accommodate 2GB of memory, which means it can hold 250 pictures or 54 minutes of video. So now your tales of insane adventures can be documented for all to believe.
Buy it now: GoPro Digital Hero 3 Camera, $140

Design docs (views) created via REST API don't work. "Show Results" is grayed out. 404 error in client.
I recently updated to the latest 2.0 beta release of Couchbase Server and now notice that when I upload design docs to Couchbase, they don't work. I get a 404 error when I try to access the view from the client library. If I view them in the web console, I notice that the "show results" button is grayed out. However, if I copy the design doc to dev and edit the view by pressing save without making any changes, the "show results" button is now enabled. If I publish this to production, the view works.
Is this by design? I did not have this issue in the earlier 2.0 releases. The REST API isn't very useful if I still have to use the web console to enable the views--especially when I have dozens of design docs and views.
Problem was caused by carriage returns in view. I develop views on Windows in .js files and store them in Couchbase programmatically. Stripping out \r characters before sending the JSON to CouchbaseCluster.CreateDesignDocument() fixed the problem.
Is this considered a bug? Shouldn't the Couchbase server on Windows handle \r?
I have seen this problem also since Beta 2.0
Which client library are you using?
When you create a view using the REST API, use the "dev_" prefix on the design document name to make it a "development view".
Example "_design/dev_beer" If this prefix doesn't exist, it will create a "production view". Production views are not editable, but as you mention you can copy them to dev if you create a production view.
Example: curl -X PUT -H'content-type:application/json' -d '{"views": {"name": {"map": "function (doc) {emit(doc.name), null}"}}}' http://ec2-xxx.us-west.compute...:8092/default/_design/dev_test-ddocs
In addition, for beta there have been changes to the way document metadata is handled.
Read more here:
Hope this helps.
I've been doing this through the REST API instead of the client library, because I did not know that the C# client library was able to save design documents. The 2.0 documentation only mentions the REST API if you want to save design docs. However, I was recently informed via IRC that the documentation is outdated and that the C# client library can in fact save design documents!
I will try that as soon as I can.
Updated my tool to use the SDK instead of the REST API. Same problem. Views return 404 when I try to use them until I "enable" them in the web console. I haven't updated my JSON yet to the new format, so that might the actual source of all my problems.
are you using the "dev_" prefix when you name the design document? Only then will it be editable.
I get this issue with or without the "dev_" prefix. I do not care about editing the view from the web console. I just want to be able to use a view that I *successfully* saved in Couchbase. When I call client.GetView().Key(foo), I get back 404 or no results. I see data in Couchbase and I can run the view manually in the web console, but I doesn't work in my client code until I "enable" it from the web console.
Could you post a snippet of the code you used to create a design doc?
You just provided the best way of design a doc,hope the visitors will get maximum of help,and if you want to get help in web designing just find us, web designer
Finally found time to tackle this problem again. I created a test project to see if I could duplicate this issue under other conditions. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I could not duplicate this problem in my tests. My real code still fails. Currently trying to pin-point what I'm doing differently between my real code and my tests. They're both using the same SDK version.
Ok, finally figured it out.
Couchbase does not accept views with carriage returns. I'm developing on windows, so I write my views in .js files and save them to Couchbase programmatically. Once I stripped out \r from my views, it worked.
Hi Jinushan, would you mind sharing your code to create views automatically?
Nothing special. It's in the official SDK, but undocumented for C#. (Documentation exists for Ruby, however) Had to look in the unit tests in GitHub to find their usage in C#
The code below is C# specific, but any blob of JSON will do as long as it conforms to the design document format.
var doc = new { views = new { foobar = new { map = "function (doc, meta) { emit(meta.id, null); }" } } }; var cluster = new Couchbase.Management.CouchbaseCluster("couchbase"); var success = cluster.CreateDesignDocument("bucketName", "docName", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(doc));

Canterbury 2014/15: Season Opening Concert
Saturday 11 Oct 2014, 7.30pm
Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury
Serenade to Music is a work by Ralph Vaughan Williams for 16 vocal soloists and orchestra, composed in 1938.
The text is an adaptation of the discussion about music and the music of the spheres in Act V, Scene 1 of The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare. Vaughan Williams later arranged the piece into versions for chorus and orchestra and solo violin and orchestra. It is approximately 13 minutes in duration.
Vaughan Williams wrote the piece as a tribute to the conductor Sir Henry Wood to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Wood's first concert. The solo parts were composed specifically for the voices of sixteen eminent British singers chosen by Wood and the composer. In some parts of the work, the soloists sing together as a "choir," sometimes in as many as twelve parts; in others, each soloist is allotted a solo (some soloists get multiple solos). The published score places the initials of each soloist next to his or her lines.
