Artist attempts to print out the entire Internet
- why is viagra brand better
- is viagra available on prescription
- 50mg generic viagra
- viagra softabs
Artist and the Museum of Modern Art's first poet laureate Kenneth Goldsmith has rented a 500-square-meter space in Mexico City with 6-meter high ceilings in an attempt to Print Out The Internet.
Goldsmith's Tumblr asks people from around the world to send whatever they can to Mexico City, whether it's one sheet of paper or an entire truckload. Inspired by the activist Aaron Schwartz – who committed suicide while awaiting trial for downloading articles from the online library JSTOR – the project aims to spread the idea of open access to information on the internet.
The project will run from July 26th to August 30th, with Goldsmith himself admitting that the chances of printing anywhere close to the entirety of the internet would be an impossible task. Via:PSFK

The Red Heartby JAMES ALEXANDER Thom
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The Slocum family of Northeastern Pennsylvania are the best of the white settlers, peace-loving Quakers who believe that the Indians hold the Light of God inside. It is from this good-hearted family that Frances is abducted during the Revolutionary war.
As the child's terror subsides, she is slowly drawn into the sacred work and beliefs of her adoptive mother and of all the women of these Eastern tribes. Frances becomes Maconakwa, the Little Bear Woman of the Miami Indians. Then, long after the Indians are beaten and their last hope, Tecumseh, is killed, the Slocums hear word of their long-lost daughter and head out to Indiana to meet their beloved Frances. But for Maconakwa, it is a moment of truth, the test of whether her heart is truly a red one.
Abducted during the Revolutionary War by the Lenape, five-year-old Frances Slocum is transformed into Maconakwa, the Little Bear Woman of the Miami Indians, and grows up among her adoptive tribe, in a historical novel based on the real-life experiences of Frances Slocum. Reprint.

The Minnesota Gophers men's hockey team welcomed Penn State into Big Ten hockey with open arms. They beat the Nittnany Lions 3-2 Sunday night and 5-2 Monday tonight to complete the two game sweep.
The Gophers were led by junior forward Sam Warning's two goals on Monday. Minnesota also got goal help from Travis Boyd, Ben Marshall, and Justin Kloos.
Boyd scored just 2:35 into the game and Don Lucia's team never looked back. The team took a 3-0 lead before Penn State got on the scoreboard, but by then the damage was done.
Minnesota stays atop the Big Ten standings with a 15-2-3 record and a 5-0-1 record in the conference.
Minnesota will get a short rest before hosting Ohio State in the 2014 Hockey City Classic Friday night at TCF Bank Stadium.

Now, the area has had several small rainfalls during the last couple months, followed by a hard 3 … Continue reading

The iPhone 4 as it is today, with a 3.5-inch screen.
Here's what happens when you keep the iPhone's current 3:2 aspect ratio and bump the screen size up to 4 inches. The screen goes to the very edge of the handset's faceplate -- possibly even beyond.
An iPhone with a 4-inch screen in the iPad's 4:3 aspect ratio would have to be considerably wider. It almost looks like a BlackBerry when it's this wide.
With the 16:10 format of the MacBook/MacBook Pro line, the iPhone's screen goes right to the edge of the front faceplate.
I have a soft spot for this one. A 16:9-formatted screen would make watching movies on the iPhone a lot more pleasant.

A plan for a new home for Happy Tales Humane has fallen apart, leaving the non-profit animal rescue the challenge of quickly finding somewhere else to go. Happy Tales, currently located at The Factory in Franklin, was told to leave its space last fall. Nashville's News 2 has since learned the owners are moving in a different direction for the shopping and antique mall. In December, Happy Tales announced it was purchasing property and on Lewisburg Pike in Williamson County. That deal, however, has since fallen apart due to septic ordinances. Mark Enderle, president of the board of directors for Happy Tales, told News 2 in a statement, "We are disappointed that the location across from Berry Farms is not going to work because of the septic situation on the property. That said, we are excited about some of the prospective locations we are currently working on and look forward to making an announcement very soon." Happy Tales director Debbi Cure told News 2 they expect to release information on another location next week. Happy Tales is currently no longer accepting or adopting cats and dogs until their location situation is settled. The non-profit is currently staying in a temporary space at The Factory.

At a recent PUC meeting I was told by a commissioner that Idaho Power Co. can print whatever they want in their bill inserts because of the 1st Amendment. The PUC either does not have the authority to properly regulate or does not have the will.
The PUC commissioners are the regulators for the electric utility monopoly called Idaho Power. Many states have deregulated electrical utilities so you can buy electricity from whomever you want. In these cases free market capitalism acts as the regulator to give customers what they demand. In Idaho the PUC is the regulator that is suppose to give customers what they demand.
Without much study, it is hard for customers to separate truth from deception. The devil is in the details. The commissioner suggested not reading the bill inserts, which might be good advice. When getting your next electric bill either recycle the inserts or burn them because they may contain misleading information.
Where do you think the money comes from to print those bill inserts? Where do you think the money comes from to pay the multimillion-dollar compensation for the CEO? The PUC does have the authority to regulate the rate of return Idaho Power receives.

I have been a huge fan of Lunasol base make up products for the longest time. Each time I buy from their Kanebo Lunasol counter, they are also notorious for being generous at throwing samples at you, hence making me liking the brand even more.
One of the samples I always get happens to be the Lunasol Skin Modeling Powder Foundation. This is also perhaps the most exciting sample I get every time at the counter and sometimes I would also request for them (pretending I haven't tried it before, ha!).
Long story short, I love their powder foundation for years but have never gotten around to reviewing it since I didn't own the full size product. Couple months ago, I ran out of my sample and thought it was high time I bite the bullet and commit to the full size product and I am so glad I did.
As with most Japanese departmental store brand make up product, the powder foundation and the compacts are sold SEPARATELY. So make sure to keep an eye not to end up with just the foundation.
There are six shades to choose from, I have tried OC-02 in the past and find it too yellow tone for my liking so I went with OC-01. This is a perfect match for me and for my current skin condition.
Lunasol Skin Modeling Powder Foundation comes with SPF 20 PA++ which is great, but as always remember to prep your skin with sunscreen regardless. Previously, I have gone through the liquid phase and the cream phase for foundations and it seems I am obsessed with powder foundation now.
I am also very glad to report that this very powder foundation stood up to Melbourne's recent heatwave (aka over 40 degrees day for a week!) and even those unbearable stuffy, sweaty tram rides, this foundation did not once budge at all. This is now my HG foundation for Summer!
What more can I say? I love everything about this HG foundation:
- Amazing oil controlling
- Impressive medium coverage with the lightest application (even with reddness!)
- Easy to apply (with the sponge that comes in the compact)
- Perfect colour match (OC-01 for me)
- No retouching or reapplication needed for me throughout a normal's day of wear
- Doesn't clog my pores (no breakouts)
- Doesn't crease into fine lines
- Hides my dark eye circle without the need of concealer and it doesn't dry up under my eye area
The finish is super lightweight and the powder is really refined. Basically if you want your skin but BETTER, this is the go to foundation. I guess the only thing is you have to be diligent with washing out the sponge (I do this weekly usually on the weekends). Alternatively try buying backup sponge whilst you wash the other.
PS – My bff Tina also has a review on this product here.
1,500 yen (case) + 4,000 yen (foundation)

Nice new addition to the Rockland county beer world. This spot is just a few minutes from the Tappan Zee Bridge, the Palisades mall and downtown Nyack.
They are filling growlers from 16 taps, offering a boat load of the usual craft bottle options available in the area, and have a nice casual space to enjoy a pint and relax with other beer lovers. Expect to find a lot of what is generally available in the area.
Most of the bottles are kept warm, but there is a mid sized cooler unit or two towards the rear of the place.
Good option for people travelling through the area on the NYS throughway to pick up NY state options. Also, I'd be here regularly to fill growlers if I was more local.

5/5 rDev +9.9%
Excellent place for craft beer lovers. Here are the highlights:
1. The staff is excellent and very knowledgeable about craft beer
2. There are about 20 taps that are always rotating. You can get growlers for most of them
3. Huge selection of craft beers. My guess is around 400-500 beers. Plenty of bombers are rare finds
4. Every Thursday night there is a craft brewery coming in and offering tastings. Not just local NY/NJ
brewers, but from all across the US. Firestone Walker, Bell's, Stone.
Best place for craft brew fans in the Lower Hudson Valley in the NYC metro area.

Great craft beer shop. Not only do they have rotating taps constantly featuring different craft beers, they've got bottles from all over the world for sale as well. It's fun to mix and match 6-packs and try lots of new beers. A small bar menu, including some truly awesome bavarian pretzels! The staff is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I wish I drank beer more often! They also host craft beer festivals.

Hello, friends and bannermen. Sunday's Game of Thrones gave us some graphic skin (de-skinning, not nudity) scenes and some bad feelings about the fate of our favorite bastards and whores. How did the episode match up with the books? How did it differ? This weekly chat series is for fans of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books, upon which HBO's fantasy drama is based. It's meant to be a safe haven to discuss spoilers ...

Are you a burger lover? I have never been - but occasionally I enjoy a raw veggie burger. Yes, it's true that it takes a while before you can bite into your burger because of the preparation and dehydration time required but when all is said and done these gems are well worth it. I like to make a big batch because the finished product keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks and even a few months in the freezer.
I've made several raw burger recipes over the years and most have turned out great, but I always prefer the easiest recipe. The one I have for you today is super easy and only uses very basic ingredients. After grating, chopping, grinding, mixing, and shaping, you can sit back while your dehydrator does the rest of the work. Then the fun part begins...
How do you like to dress up your burger? I have two different ideas to share here.
First, a more traditional burger with chard instead of lettuce (as the bun), tomato, cheese, "ketchup", avocado, and beets.
I served them with a side of cheezy kale chips, and cucumber slices.
Raw Mushroom Veggie Burgers
Adapted from this recipe
2 cups button mushrooms, diced small
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup celery, finely chopped
1 cup walnuts or pecans, soaked and ground in a food processor
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, soaked and ground
3/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup tamari
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 teaspoons dried tarragon
Toss the veggies together in a bowl.
Add the ground nuts and all other ingredients stir together thoroughly to evenly incorporate everything.
Pack the mixture into a 1/3 cup measuring cup and turn it over onto a teflex lined dehydrator sheet.
Tap the cup to get the filling out. Press down gently to flatten the patty.
Dehydrate at 145F for 1 hour. Turn the temperature to 115F and continue dehydrating for 5-6 hours, transferring onto the mesh sheet after 1-2 hours.
My next idea is a BBQ veggie burger wrap.
I did a post on these a while ago... i stumbled upon this great wrap when I made a last minute decision to turn a bbq chip recipe into wraps - and it worked! Anyway, I simply spread my avocado caesar dressing on the wrap along with lettuce, burger sliced in thirds, tomato, beet, asparagus, and marinated/dehydrated mushrooms.
Lay your wrap flat and layer caesar dressing, lettuce, sliced burger, tomato, thin slices of beet...
Lay a strip of asparagus along the top, followed by marinated mushrooms (sliced mushrooms in a bit of tamari and olive oil. Marinate for a few hours and dehydrate for a few hours to draw the water out and get a "cooked" look and taste).
Wrap it all up, seam side down.
Make sure to have a side of caesar dressing....
Heathy's Caesar Dressing
2 medium avocados
1/2-1 cup water
1/4 cup cashews
1/4 cup lemon juice, or more
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1-2 teaspoons himalayan salt
1-2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2-3 cloves garlic
1 date, pitted
Blend all ingredients until smooth, starting with lesser amounts of salt and pepper. Add enough water to achieve desired thickness.
...because you'll want to a dollop on every bite. Mmmm!

Nature Studies by Michael McCarthy: From ants to birds to whales, there's a soundscape to be marvelled at
In nature's collective voice, we can locate the origins of human music, even language
Michael McCarthy
Michael McCarthy, formerly the Independent's longstanding Environment Editor, now its Environment Columnist, is one of Britain's leading writers on the environment and the natural world. He has won a string of awards for his work, including Environment Journalist of the Year (three times) and Specialist Writer of the Year in the British Press Awards in 2001. In 2007 he was awarded the Medal of the RSPB for "Outstanding Services to Conservation," in 2010 he was awarded the Silver Medal of the Zoological Society of London, and in 2011 the Dilys Breeze Medal of the British Trust for Ornithology. In 2009 McCarthy published Say Goodbye To The Cuckoo (John Murray), a study of Britain's declining migrant birds.
Thursday 19 April 2012
When I first heard the term soundscape I was taken aback, because it perfectly described what I was listening to: a whole series of different warbler species singing heartily on a spring day in the Norfolk Broads. I was taken aback because I suddenly realised that they were not singing each in isolation, but as part of something bigger, a whole layer of aural existence of which I had been sublimely ignorant. You could look at the landscape; and at the same time, you could listen to the soundscape. There it was.
An extraordinarily skilled naturalist pointed it out to me, and changed forever my perception of birdsong, and even of the natural world. He showed me that remarkable events were taking place in sound right in front of us: a sedge warbler in a bramble patch was mimicking perfectly the calls of a range of other, quite dissimilar birds, from linnets to greenshanks, and was doing it to impress female sedge warblers and secure a mate: almost like a young man at a party with a guitar. I became aware that the sound all around us, and by extension, throughout nature, was not random squawks and tweets and whistles, not abstract background noise like the muzak in a hotel lift, but had meaning, and could be deconstructed and decoded, and that the whole was more than the sum of the parts.
It's a fairly new concept, the soundscape, "the concerto of the natural world." The term itself is usually credited to the Canadian composer and naturalist R Murray Schafer, but one man in particular has made it his life's work to explore it and to document it. Bernie Krause was a folk singer and session guitarist who became interested in electronic music in the San Francisco of the late 1960s – he was one of the first musicians to take up the synthesiser – but as the 60s became the 70s, he found himself more and more drawn to recording the sound array of nature.
Over 40 years he has archived the sounds of more than 15,000 species, from snapping shrimps to humpback whales, from ants singing to gibbons duetting at dawn, from corn growing to murmuring giraffes. He has created a vocabulary to help us understand the ensemble, as we might say. Geophony (which I think we should pronounce jeeoffanny) means natural sounds from non-biological sources such as wind and rain and earth movements: the first sounds on earth, and the context for sounds made by living creatures, which Krause terms biophony (again, I think we should say byeoffanny). And in contrast to them both is anthrophony (let's say anthroffanny) which covers the sounds made by human beings, and quickly becomes Noise with a capital N, and drowns out the others, just as our streetlights have come to obscure the stars.
Using such concepts, and also using sonograms, pictures of sound over time, Krause has elucidated the wonders of the soundscape, and wonders they are. Two discoveries stand out. The first is that every organism has a unique sound signature, no matter how minute: "When viruses let go from a surface they've been attached to, they create a detectable sonic spike." The second is that in nature's symphony, everything fits together: organisms have evolved to use unoccupied sound channels, of time, loudness, or frequency, so they do not drown each other out in a cacophony (Krause calls this "niche discrimination"); instead, they form a collective voice, "the acoustic harmony of the wild".
All this magnificent, if arcane, knowledge has now been brought together by Krause in a masterly tour of the soundscape. Entitled The Great Animal Orchestra (Profile Books, £12.99), it makes a convincing case for the soundscape's overlooked value, partly for itself, and partly as an indication of the health of the natural world, and for one overwhelming reason for us as humans: in nature's collective voice, he says, can be located the origins of human music, and perhaps even human language.
Now, though, it is threatened like so much else, and Krause ends with a plea: "The whisper of every leaf and creature implores us to love and care for the fragile tapestry of the biophony, which – after all – was the first music our species heard."
Cover your ears for this shrimp
Some animals, such as toothed whales like the sperm whale, Krause writes, can generate sound levels that, if produced in the air, "would be equivalent to a large-bore firearm being discharged a few inches from your ear."
However, the loudest organism in the animal world may be a creature right at the opposite end of the scale in terms of size: the inch-and-a-half long snapping shrimp, which can produce an explosive signal with its single large claw exceeding 200 decibels underwater, equivalent to about 165 decibels in the air.
By contrast, the Grateful Dead, sometimes thought of as the world's loudest rock band, come in at about 130 decibels.

Imperial Eclipse Stout - High West Bourbon - FiftyFifty Brewing Co.
Displayed for educational use only; do not reuse.
Ratings: 85 | Reviews: 14 | Display Reviews Only:
4.01/5 rDev -2.9%
Pours a dark, dark brown colored ale with a big foamy head and a touch of lacing through the session.
Nice bourbon aroma combined with sweet chocolate whiff intertwined with honey. Woody, nutty, molasses, toasted oak. Reminds me of most of the others in the series.
Taste is slightly spicy with the bourbon up front followed by the stout flavor kicking in on the swallow. Smooth drink but not up to par on the some of the other barrel blends. A little more on the char side. Not as sweet as some of the others which I find as a plus.
Overall, this is a solid beer but not one of my favorites for the series. Maybe it's the bourbon barrel used. Not sure. Oh it's good, but just didn't spark anything in me that some of the others have. Have one more chillin and will wait for about 6 months and see what happens.

Mini snifter
A: Dark brown leading the pitch black appearance in the glass. You get a thin layer of light tan tight bubbled head. Doesn't stick around for a long time. Alcohol feet.
S: Getting much more vanilla than with the HW Rye that we drank just prior to this. Less spice obviously as well. Dark chocolate. Fudge notes. Dry oak. Booze.
T: Taste follows the smells. Boozy dark chocolate fudge. Vanilla and oak meshing in nicely toward the mid palate. Lingering flavors of cocoa. Long finish. Opens up with warmth.
M: Full bodied and creamy.

Ah, Eclipse. Every year I look forward to my shipment, though the hand-off in the cold weather of a Minnesota December always makes me sweaty. 22 oz. orange....excuse, me tangerine...bottle split with my wife.
I am happy to say that the orange...tangerine wax of this year's bottles is slightly less hard than the setting concrete of year's past, it's almost fun to peel off. Nose is a bit light compared to other years & variants. More chocolate than anything else, light vanilla bean (three of them), & I swear I can smell the wood.
Imperial Eclipse Stout - High West has callouses on its hands. First impression is that this is harsh, an Eclipse with a biting edge of boozy whiskey that's nowhere apparent in its brothers (& sisters). There's a spicy mule-kick that hints at rye, & if I knew more about bourbon I'd know, but I'll wager these are rye barrels. Or I'm just wrong. Chocolate, wild honey, mild sweetness, with a ton of wood that sucks the moisture from my palate. Dry tongue. Swift kick of alcohol. But that spiciness really yips this up a notch. I could suck this down like oysters on the half-shell.
Before it warmed, this beer left me cold & indifferent. Once it closed in on room temperature, my meter went close to ninety degrees. Bloody hell, one excellent beer.

Batch 1, 2013.
A: Pitch, pitch black pour. Tall and very dense dark brown head. Head fades out very slowly with thin solid sheets of lacing. Great head retention.
S: Nice sweet bourbon aroma. Toasted sugar, caramel and a little oak. Maybe even brown sugar and honey? Did I mention it's sweet and sugary? Touch of char and chocolate but mainly it's the bourbon talking here.
T: Again, bourbon up front. Lots of oak here now with a decent backing of toasted sugar and toffee maybe? Sweet milk chocolate with an alcohol sting to it in the middle. Touch of honey. Oak is way stronger than expected and persists through to the finish. Aftertaste is almost pure drying oak with just a touch of bittersweet cocoa and even more bitter coffee beans.
M: Medium heavy bodied. Pretty smooth with just a small sting of alcohol in the finish. Quite dry from all the oak.
O: Hmph, not a bad variant. Heavy on the oak, maybe a little too much. Not bad, just needs a little less oak and a little more bourbon and this would be golden.

650ml tangerine waxed bomber, bottle run #1 2013, poured into tulip 10/1/14
A I'm starting to sound like a broken record but shes black with a deep cola edge, two fingers of mocha foam slowly falls to a thick film leaving plenty of unorganized lace deep down the glass
S sweet bourbon, fruity booze, fudge and coco, licorice, vanilla, cinnamon, some wood, smells great
T some cold sweetened coffees added to the mix, a little spicy and I don't quite understand why but it works, the booze is well hidden with lots of vanilla and fudge, not sure why but I slightly prefer the nose
M medium full, creams up nicely, just a little heat but much like the other 50-50's very well concealed booze, sweet woody bourbon finish just keeps going
O this versions a little spicy, not the char I've found in the others but the mellowness works in its own way, smooth and sexy
FML I've drank some cash recently, another great beer no doubt but I feel a little dirty dropping the $$$ but I'm sure I'd have more regrets if I didn't, worth a try for sure but I need to make some friends to split the cost with

22oz 'tangerine' wax capped bottle, from run number 1 of the year 2013, Anno Domani. Once again, these barrel-aged Eclipse deals are not at all easy to open with a standard tool - is this supposed to be some sort of security feature or something? Anyways, the barrel in question here comes from the High West Bourbon lineage.
This beer pours a solid, light-nullifying black, with the slightest echo of basal red cola 'highlights', and two slender fingers of thickly foamy, and loosely bubbly milk chocolate brown head, which leaves some bleeding Swiss cheese lace around the glass as things slowly subside.
It smells of roasted doughy caramel malt, bittersweet cocoa, black licorice, boozy vanilla, Bourbon-soaked gritty wood planks, a hint of Irish coffee, and weak earthy, musty hops. The taste is big on the hot vanilla notes up front, followed closely by more toasted caramel malt, charred medium chocolate, dry anise, cherry menthol cough drops, a milder grainy Bourbon besotted woodiness, and a very soft bitter earthy hoppiness. That near 12 points of ABV are noticeable, sure, but hardly a kingmaker at this junction.
The carbonation is damned-near non-existent, the body a slickly solid medium-heavy weight, smooth like glossy licorice twists, with a hint of aerosol creaminess. It finishes fairly sweet, the alcohol not to be denied in all respects, especially when combined with the lingering roasted malt and cocoa, not to mention the earthy licorice/root beer notes, and generally fading soft Kentucky barrel notes.
I've kind of always wanted to try the High Test (uh, I mean West) Bourbon that's been available around here for a while, but, yeah, its dear shelf price kind of distanced me from it. So now, ironies abounding, I get to try its mere ghost via a likewise pricey barrel-aged American stout. My takeaway here is that the whisky is well worth pursuing, given that it renders subtly desirable effects on an already heady base Imperial Stout, and nothing more. Oh, well, there would be that deal with the even further elevated alcohol, but that's a cross to bear for another day.
