As the afternoon rains soaked Aspen, no blowouts were destroyed. It seems people here don't have hairdressers — they have plastic surgeons. I was sitting at Peaches, the town's best corner to see and be seen, ogling eye-tucks and Maybachs and bodies that routinely best the surrounding mountains. And I was thinking that this town, framed by some of the world's greatest natural beauty, is place that really understands artifice. Now what we need are some art folks to fly in from the coasts to electrify this hamlet, cattle-prod style. And in a sense it came to pass. Except it was the town that electrified us.
A three-day series of events, Aspen ArtCrush benefits the forward-thinking, frequently inspiring Aspen Art Museum. The charity generates some 35 percent of the museum's annual budget — which explains the considerable energy put into it — and this year, as we were soon to learn, the money raised was all the more important because the museum is poised to move locations.
Things kicked off Wednesday with WineCrush, a wine-tasting dinner and dance party at the capacious home of collectors John and Amy Phelan. Guests were greeted with flutes of Laurent-Perrier Grand Siècle Rosé Champagne (1997 vintage) and a display of diamond jewelry designed by James de Givenchy of Sotheby's, which provided the glittering trove. It was an evening as rarefied as the air. The Phelan's house, which was designed by Chris Stone and David Fox, of Stonefox, is as elegant as it is extensive. Said one awed Dallas collector: "It's incredible to have these views [of the surrounding mountains] with this much wall space." But it was the Phelan's art collection that proved the strongest intoxicant of that wine-sodden evening: room after room of outstanding contemporary pieces. Under a Damien Hirst sat artist Mickalene Thomas chatting with her girlfriend Carmen McLeod, while Will Cotton admired a painting by Thomas in another room. Marilyn Minter could be found steps away from a large Minter painting, showing off the matching tattoos — an M and W in the shape of M&Ms — that she and her husband, Bill Miller, had just gotten inscribed on their arms.
After drinking in the art, the guests — an art world who's-who that included museum director Adam Weinberg, dealers Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn and Perry Rubenstein, collectors Glenn Fuhrman, Gayle Stoffel, and Nancy and Bob Magoon, artists Josephine Meckseper and Richard Phillips, as well as curator Peter Eleey, Creative Time director Anne Pasternak, and Lisa Dennison of Sotheby's — traipsed past the indoor pool, past the outdoor pool, and into an enormous tent. There, over chilled lobster and potato salad, Aspen Art Museum director and chief curator Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson made a major announcement: The Aspen City Council had just voted 4 to 1 to allow the museum to build a new structure downtown, where the Weinerstube restaurant now stands.
Founded in 1979, the museum is currently housed in a 19th-century hydroelectric plant, the first erected west of the Mississippi. But don't think the existing structure is some sort of Tate Modern of the mountains — it's tiny, essentially a converted water mill with less exhibition space than many Chelsea galleries. "We're a mid-sized museum [in terms of annual budget] crammed into a very small space," Zuckerman Jacobson later told me in her modest office. Under the current plan, the new building, designed by architect Shigeru Ban, will provide 12,500 square feet of exhibition space, as well as other amenities the museum currently lacks, such as an elevator, a cafe, and a boardroom. Still, though the building is small, the current exhibition of work by Sergej Jensen makes a big impression.
As did the selection of wines attendees had paid to sample at WineCrush. While draining a Bordeaux, Chateau Cos Estournel from 2006, I asked collector June Schorr (who hosted a benefit for the museum before the advent of ArtCrush) what made the current series of benefit events so successful. Ever generous, Mrs. Schorr opined that it was "the energy and dedication of Amy Phalen," who, in partnership with Zuckerman Jacobson, had transformed ArtCrush from a posh small-town fundraiser into a not-to-be missed affair on the art circuit. This year's must be counted among the most remarkable. Perhaps it was the announcement of the new building project or the lure of the mountains during a brutally hot summer, but according to the museum's director, this year saw more collectors, more museum directors, and more art donated than ever. Even before the benefit auction began on Friday night, the museum had raised some $5 million for it's capital campaign.
Thursday, the day before the benefit auction, found New York curators in blazers and hiking boots trekking through the wilds of collectors' homes. Certainly the wildest and most challenging, in the best sense of the word, was Bob and Nancy Magoons collection, where a headless stuffed cat by David Shrigley seemed to gaze out the window (as if it could) at two bridges in the sculpture garden newly papered over by Richard Woods, and where others could be found crowding into a stairwell to gawk at the infamous drawings by Adolf Hitler that had been marked up by the Chapman brothers. Upstairs, one distracted guest almost smashed her toe on a bronze Mark Quinn sleeping bag on the floor. From the Magoons, many people headed over to the home of Dennis and Debra Scholl, which is on the market, perhaps because Dennis's new job as vice president for arts at the Knight Foundation will keep the couple on the East Coast. The standout work in their modern house was a vast painting by Julie Mehretu.
The evening event was billed as a "barbeque" at the Robert J. Hurst estate and sponsored by Sotheby's — more wine, but this time there was an abundance of tequila drunk too — but there were no grills in sight. It was more a bar mitzvah to which anyone might kill to be invited. The following morning, those who hadn't slept in stopped by the home of Susan and Larry Marx to tour — quietly, as the Hammers Ann Philbin was resting in one of the bedrooms — an exquisite collection of works on paper ranging from Jackson Pollock and Agnes Martin to Mark Bradford. "We're paper people!" Larry exclaimed as he indicated a suite of drawings by Blinky Palermo, which are soon to be sent to the major Palermo retrospective opening this fall at Dia:Beacon. As a small group toured the house, one of the guests stepped gingerly around a dog bed. Our smiling host called out, "Don't worry, you won't smash a toe on that — this isn't the Magoons."
Finally the night of the ArtCrush auction arrived, with some 350 guests strolling over a pink-carpeted bridge to find tents set up outside the museum replete with cocktails, artworks donated by nearly 50 artists (quite a few of whom showed up to witness the silent and live auctions) and an absolutely extraordinary array of wines. My table included the lovely Dana Farouki, who is moving from New York to Dubai; collector Beth Rudin DeWoody, MoMA P.S.1 curator Peter Eleey, Tom Sachs and Sarah Hoover, and MoMA P.S.1 director Klaus Biesenbach. Alas, I had sampled too much wine to match wits with Klaus in the game "Who are the four most important artists under 40 today?" But his list was . . . no, you'll have to ask him yourself.
It was in many ways a perfect, and fitting evening. More collectors! Domenico and Eleanor De Sole; Mera Rubell, in a Warholian fright wig, with husband Don Rubell, octogenarian Stefan Edlis, who only weeks earlier had survived a major Vespa accident; and David and Jennifer Stockman. More artists! Ken Solomon, Delia Brown, Nir Hod, and Matthew Weinstein. More wine, more tequila! Marilyn Minter was the honoree, and during her remarks she reminded everyone that she'd never before received a prize or honor in her life. Tobias Meyer, the worldwide head of contemporary art at Sotheby's, took over as the evening's auctioneer, lunging and twirling to spot bids with tremendous alacrity. The combined events and auctions brought in $1.5 million. A great achievement! And so everyone headed to a club called Syzygy — to celebrate.

Knowledge is freedom, and ignorance is slavery - Miles Davis
The difference between a beginner and pro mouthpiece is practice - tobylou8

Don't be afraid to try something different. The Ark was built by an amateur and the Titanic was built by a group of experienced engineers.
By the inch it's a cinch, by the yard, it's hard!
familiarity (practice and experience) is likely an important element to this discussion as experience above. I was a Junior in High School taking piano lessons from an advanced instructor whose purpose was to show me what it would take to succeed in music if I pursued it as a major. She had a broken leg and was wheeling around her house in a wheel chair. I was playing a Chopin Polonaise- banging away - she was in her kitchen -- her voice came over my volume noting that i had missed a C# in the left hand.
Perfect pitch? or just familiarity with the music? (have not read every thread so apologies for unintended redundancy)
Lots of accomplished musicians seem to be able to detect pitch variations of two cents, some even less. My daughter, an oboist, has always had a better ability in that regard than I do, and mine's not bad at all.

Perfect pitch is not:
1. Being able to discern A-440 from A-442.
2. Being able to identify chord quality.
3. Being able to memorize and transcribe long passage of music, including the harmony parts.
We've all heard anecdotes or known people who could do these other things, but these qualities all go above and beyond the standard definition.
Science has never confirmed anyone in the world as having a true photographic or eidetic memory. Take her to a lab to be tested, and they will undoubtedly find that her memory is limited, even if she is at a very high level.
According to mounting evidence, it's impossible to recall images with near perfect accuracy.
Certainly, some people do have phenomenal memories. Chess masters can best multiple opponents while blindfolded. Super card sharks can memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards in less than a minute. But people with Herculean memories tend to be adept at one specific taski.e., a person who memorizes cards may be inept at recognizing faces.
Alan Searleman, a professor of psychology at St. Lawrence University in New York, says eidetic imagery comes closest to being photographic. When shown an unfamiliar image for 30 seconds, so-called "eidetikers" can vividly describe the imagefor example, how many petals are on a flower in a garden scene. They report "seeing" the image, and their eyes appear to scan across the image as they describe it. Still, their reports sometimes contain errors, and their accuracy fades after just a few minutes. Says Searleman, "If they were truly 'photographic' in nature, you wouldn't expect any errors at all."
It should be noted that chessmasters' ability to play blindfolded is usually limited to at most a few dozen games at once, and is strongly related to the order of moves. When presented with random positions, their ability to play while blindfolded is severely diminished.
What about the ability to recognise the various microtone intervals of the maqamat scales of the Middle East? Or the gadwal scale?
Picking a definition that ignores all other cultures than the particular one your familiar with is simply a parochial opinion and no more than that.

Nobody's truly perfect, so you have to draw the line somewhere. If only 1 person in 10,000 can do it to an semitone accuracy, that's a fairly strict standard. But I know plenty of musicians with perfect pitch. I could name a dozen off the top of my head--it's fairly common among musicians.
For whatever it's worth, I just googled up and took a perfect pitch test at http://www.audiocheck.net/blindtests_abspitch.php
I was able to score 10/10 in about a minute. Here is my 'screen shot' of the test.

Another alien invasion flick is on its way, this one written and directed by Joe Cornish (actor; Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) and featuring an urban slant. Which is far better than a suburban slant, but not quite as cool as a sharp ninety-degree slant. What the hell was I talking about again? Oh, yeah! Aliens!
Nick Frost, Jodie Whittaker, Luke Treadaway, Maggie McCarthy and Danielle Vitalis all star in this latest slice of extraterrestrial terror from the UK.
Check out the first stills below courtesy of the official Attack the Block Facebook page and the first art and detailed synopsis from Twitch Film.
Attack the Block premieres next month at the SXSW Film Festival.
Attack the Block is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a housing estate into a SCI-FI PLAYGROUND. A tower block into a fortress under siege. And weapon-wielding teenage thugs into heroes. Think ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 only with monsters and a tower block. Or LA HAINE crossed with ALIENS. It's inner city versus outer space.
Trainee nurse Sam is walking home to her flat in a scary South London tower block when she's robbed by a gang of masked, hooded youths. She's saved when the gang are distracted by a bright meteorite, which falls from the sky and hits a nearby parked car. Sam flees, just before the gang are attacked by a small alien creature that leaps from the wreckage. The gang chase the creature and kill it, dragging its ghoulish carcass to the top of the block, which they treat as their territory.
While Sam and the police hunt for the gang, a second wave of meteors falls. Confident of victory against such feeble invaders, the gang grab weapons, mount bikes and mopeds, and set out to defend their turf. But this time the creatures are bigger. Much bigger. Savage, shadowy and bestial, they are hunting their fallen comrade, and nothing will stand in their way. THE ESTATE IS ABOUT TO BECOME A BATTLEGROUND. And the bunch of no-hope kids who just attacked Sam are about to become her, and the block's, only hope.

History of Royal Tunbridge Wells
Visitors have been coming to Royal Tunbridge Wells since the discovery of the Chalybeate Spring in 1606. Over the subsequent years the town grew in popularity and gained its reputation as the place to see and be seen.
It became a favourite destination for fashionable society who needed accommodation and wanted places of entertainment such as coffee houses, gaming-rooms and an assembly room for dances and balls.
In 1684 the widow of Viscount Purbeck, Margaret , whose love of fashion and dancing had gained her the nickname of "The Princess of Babylon", provided the land on Mount Sion for the earliest lodging houses and the ground at the northern end of the Pantiles, where the Church of King Charles the Martyr was built. And so the town began to spread.
Visitors who had come to "take the waters" required a place for worship and generously donated a substantial amount of money so that a church could be built. Sir Christopher Wren sent his chief plasterer Henry Doogood to create its magnificent ceiling. It was here that Princess Victoria attended church services with her mother, the Duchess of Kent.
The Grove is the oldest park in Tunbridge Wells, in 1703 it was given to the towns people to provide "a shady place or walk" and seclusion from the hustle and bustle of the town. A deed of endowment was drawn up to ensure that the trees in the Grove were protected. To this day the Grove continues to provide a haven of tranquility for local residents and visitors.
Amusements and Riotous Behaviour in Tunbridge Wells
From 1800 the town grew rapidly, in 1831 there were 5,929 inhabitants and in 1841 this had risen to 8,302. It was the fastest growing town in Kent! The town became increasingly popular with people seeking the enjoyment of retirement and began to attract an influx of permanent residents.
The cost of living was cheaper than in London but it was possible to get to London as stage coaches ran a reliable service from Tunbridge Wells to London with the journey only taking five hours!
The environment was a great asset to the town "romantic, rural, rugged with a vast variety of different views…." The surrounding countryside was ideal for walks and rides and early guide books of the town described the country houses that could be visited in the area. High Rocks was a favourite attraction and a popular excursion.
Entertainment for residents and visitors took place on the Common including firework displays, cricket matches, archery and horse racing. In 1750 Lady Coke wrote to her friend Mrs Eyre describing a typical day in Tunbridge Wells. "The outward amusements are cricketing, horse races and other diversions, such as walking, riding and airing in carriages."
Residents petitioned for the abolition of the races in 1845 on the grounds "that they were a cause of drunkenness and riotous behaviour." Once the race meetings were stopped, the race course was conserved as a footpath and bridle-way which can still be followed today.
A new town in the making
Northern developments of the town began in the early 1800's when plans to create a new town, complete with gardens, features and services "suitable to the reception of genteel families" on the Calverley Estate.
This extensive undertaking was to be designed by a brilliant young architect Decimus Burton who had made his name designing and building the innovative residential Regents Park.
He designed and built the private residences in Calverley Park and Calverley Park Terrace. Calverley Park, overlooking 20 acres of meadow and park grounds, known today as Calverley Grounds, contains twenty-four villas, chiefly of the Italian and Grecian style of architecture.
Using local stone from the quarry on the Calverley Estate, he also remodelled and extended Calverley House, a Georgian mansion, now the Hotel Du Vin, it was here that Princess Victoria stayed as a young girl.
The new town springing up included villas, a terrace, a parade, rows of shops, a market place, the gothic Holy Trinity Church and the Calverley Mews, which afford extensive accommodation for horses and carriages. All this was completed in 20 years "so that the residents upon this estate might enjoy the same advantages as those who lived nearer the springs."
The Great Hall (1870 – 1872) at the bottom of Mount Pleasant was designed by a local architect in a contemporary French style with a large hall which was to supply the demand for public rooms for cultural activities including lectures, concerts and social events.
There was also a library and reading room in The Great Hall which was eventually destroyed in a mysterious fire.
The purpose built Opera House opened in 1902, originally it was planned for the opening to coincide with thecelebrations for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. In 1931 the Opera House converted to a cinema which had to compete with the large newly built Ritz cinema, once described as "Kent's most luxurious cinema" which opened its doors in 1934.
Today the Opera House is a popular pub, it still retains the stage and grand balconies and occasionally transforms back into an Opera House for a night or two.
Royal Tunbridge Wells - 100 Years of Being 'Royal'
In 1909 King Edward VII officially recognised the popularity of Tunbridge Wells with its many royal and aristocratic visitors - including his mother, Queen Victoria - over the centuries by granting the town its "Royal" prefix.
Today, Royal Tunbridge Wells, or Tunbridge Wells as it is more commonly called, remains a popular place to live and to visit as it maintains much of its original charm and elegance.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside and just a short distance from London it is an ideal destination for a short break.

First appearing in the markets in the middle of the 20th century, Bleu d'Auvergne is relatively new in the world of cheese. The story goes that an Auvergnat farmer sprinkled mold from rye bread on his milk curd and then pierced the curd with a needle. This allowed the air through and the curd developed blue veins. Although this cheese could be mistaken for Roquefort in looks, it has its own distinct flavor. Compared to Roquefort, it's super-intense and crumbly. Bleu d'Auvergne also has a creamier texture and a more subtle, rustic flavor. It's made using century-old techniques and an uncompromising attention to quality. The result is a blue that's ideal for both snacking and cooking.
The Auvergne lies in the heart of the Massif Central, a mountain range with a chain of long extinct volcanoes, or "Puy." The Allier is rich farm country with gentle hills and huge forests. The landscape of the Puy-de-Dome and Cantal highlands changes into sweeping glacier valleys, lakes, waterfalls, and a wide plateau. There you will find unspoiled medieval towns and mountain villages. Charming farmhouses rest on the plateaus in the wilds of the Labradors. As you might expect, the people here are warm and friendly. From spring until late autumn, there are country fêtes which are held to celebrate the harvest and the movement of the herds to their mountain pastures. The terrain near Auvergne is craggy and desolate, and actually better suited to raising sheep than cows. Even so, the region manages to produce enough cow's milk to eke out its small annual production of Bleu d'Auvergne. The cheese boasts an abundance of blue veins and a smooth yet intense flavor that blue lovers covet!
This cheese, granted an AOC certification in 1975, tastes of clover, wildflowers, and wild onions. These are the main plants the cows feast on, and what a cow eats really does flavor the milk they produce, as well as the cheese made from that milk. Why are some cheeses designated as AOC? The Appellation d'Origine Controlee, or AOC, applies to wines, eaux-de-vie, dairy, and farmhouse products. It guarantees that a product of quality has been produced within a specified region following established methods of production. The AOC is regulated by laws, the first of which was the Law for the Protection of the Place of Origin of May 6, 1919.
As with the other great blues, you can contrast the heady flavor of Bleu d'Auvergne with the sweetness of fresh fruit, and/or a dessert wine. It's great crumbled on a tossed salad or added directly to your freshly-made vinaigrette; it will mellow the dressing's acidity. Try a small piece on a slice of apple for a beautiful, healthy snack! For a special treat, serve it with Sauterne and toasted nuts or with a full-bodied red wine.

Analyses were performed with SAS software (version 9.2; SAS Institute). All P values were 2 tailed, with the significance level set at P?.05. cialis drug Staxyn puede contener phenylalanine. Hable con su médico antes de usar esta forma de vardenafil si usted tiene fenilcetonuria (PKU, por sus siglas en Inglés).
Visual abnormalities are encountered with Viagra, but are less likely with Levitra and unlikely with Cialis. Flushing and dyspepsia that are associated with Viagra and Levitra are less common with Cialis. Back pain and muscle aches (myalgia) may occur with Cialis, but are unusual with either Viagra or Levitra. Side effects of Cialis tend to last longer, but are less marked than with the other drugs.Sildenafil belongs to a class of medications called phosphodiesterase inhibitors, which work by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual activity, resulting in an erection. Viagra (sildenafil) is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Viagra works by inhibiting the chemical phosphodiesterase, which leads to an increase in the effect of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide allows the smooth muscles inside the penis to relax, promoting more blood flow to the area during sexual arousal or stimulation. Viagra begins to work within about an hour and the effects can last for up to four hours. In clinical studies, Viagra was given to more than 3,000 patients aged 19 to 87 years with erectile dysfunction of different causes.
CYP3A4 (e.g., Rifampin) — Rifampin (600 mg daily), a CYP3A4 inducer, reduced tadalafil 10-mg single-dose exposure (AUC) by 88% and Cmax by 46%, relative to the values for tadalafil 10 mg alone. Although specific interactions have not been studied, other CYP3A4 inducers, such as carbamazepine, phenytoin, and phenobarbital, would likely decrease tadalafil exposure. No dose adjustment is warranted. The reduced exposure of tadalafil with the coadministration of rifampin or other CYP3A4 inducers can be anticipated to decrease the efficacy of Cialis for once daily use; the magnitude of decreased efficacy is unknown.? cialis 20mg CIALIS for Use as Needed — For patients taking concomitant potent inhibitors of CYP3A4, such as ketoconazole or ritonavir, the maximum recommended dose of CIALIS is 10 mg, not to exceed once every 72 hours [see Warnings and Precautions (5.10) and Drug Interactions (7.2)].

If you have been keeping up with this site for awhile, you can probably tell that I am a Simpsons fan. And, I don't care what anyone says, the Simpsons as good today as they have ever been! There I said it. Here is a fantastic clip of the new movie coming out on July 27th.
This is a classic Simpsons episode. I figured with Paul McCartney releasing his new album this week and it being Friday, what better way to end the work week that with a good clip?!
As presented by Stephen Colbert…

The first time anyone posted in the wannaveg forum was by a gentleman named Mortimor Von Sprout (aka, Andrew). Andrew is a loyal reader, commenter and friend of mine. He has a bit of a creative side and came up the following bio and post for Mortimor.
The Bio of Mortimor Von Sprout
I hail from the small vegetable-rich land known as the Duchy of Water Cress, the world's hot-bed of vegetarian resistance for centuries. The last animal killed within it's borders was a dung beetle, who, in the year of our Vegi-Lord Seventeen and eighty two accidentally stumbled into the road and was crushed by a free roaming Tibetan Yak who had been evacuated to Water Cress to save him from Chinese poachers. I believe passionately in the right of animals to live, and of vegetables to be grown to their succulent best and consumed by the peace-loving Hippycrats of Water Cress. If, like me, you desire to tear asunder the oppressive regimes of the carnivores who mascarade as men, join me, and we shall topple them together!!
Here is the post:
Mortimor's Post
Good day kind sirs, I would like to formally introduce myself and pledge my life and sizeable fortune to the war on meat eaters. I am the Honourable Mortimer Von Sprout the 4th, of the Duchy of Water Cress. If all goes according to our plans that we have neatly laid out on recycled hemp paper and drawn with renewable corn oil based inks, the war shall be swift and brutal and we shall feast on the flesh of these foul meat eaters before long…and yes, I am aware of the irony of that statement.
Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when Andrew decided to go vegetarian one day a week. He's been doing it for a couple months now and has the following to say about his experience. No joking around this time.
What does going vegetarian one day a week mean to me? Is it a life changing commitment? Some sort of world altering epiphany? To tell you the truth, it's really pretty easy. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a lazy, self-absorbed, set-in-his-ways kind of guy. My diet consists largely of whatever's easiest to get my hands on at any given moment, and frankly, I don't really like many vegetables. So when I was first presented with the idea of "going veg" it seemed like it would be a real pain in the a$@. In reality, it turns out it's just the opposite. I was surprised by how much of what I already eat was one minor step away from being meatless, and by how much else was easy to get my hands on. Now, I realize that eating pasta without the meat sauce, or cheese pizza doesn't make me a vegetarian gourmet, but it contributes a little to my health, contributes a little to the environment, and best of all it allows me to feel good about having done both those things without really doing much at all(In case you forgot, I'm lazy and selfish). Give it a try and you'll be surprised how easy it is.
Many thanks to Andrew for his thoughts so far, I am glad you are enjoying the new change in your diet. Keep up the good work!
From Wikipedia: In the Simpsons' episode, the tomacco was accidentally created by Homer Simpson when he "planted a little bit of everything" and fertilized his tomato and tobacco fields with plutonium. The result is a tomato that apparently has a dried, gray tobacco center, and, although being described as tasting terrible by many characters, is also immediately and powerfully addictive.
Homer was able to mix genetic engineering and irradiation into one plant….Monsanto must have a bunch of Simpson's fans working for it.
This just in….The FDA Certifies GM Corn As Rat Poison (via Ethicurean). Good news for pet food manufacturer Menu Foods, they will not need to import rat poison from China anymore. We have it locally.
It has been awhile since I posted a video on the site. This is a look into what vegans do not eat. Apparently, Steven the Vegan does not eat ham. The first part of the video is a little silly, but the end will get a chuckle out of you. ;)
I do not think this fits into going veg one day a week or anything like that. But it is pretty funny.
From Ananova
Switzerland's Agriculture Ministry has called on the country's farmers to stop feeding their cows cannabis.
Several recent adverts have promoted feeding hemp to farm animals even after a March 2005 law banning its use.
The Agriculture Ministry has now warned that farmers doping their cows will be prosecuted.
Farmers consider the cheap and easy to grow plant is good for their cows.
They believe the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, makes cows happy and produce more milk, but the Agriculture Ministry say THC can get into the milk and create a health risk.
They also said that there was a risk that Swiss cheese products could be contaminated.
I've seen a lot of 'Star Wars' parodies, but this takes the cake. I love how R2D2 is a block of tofu. (if you can't see this video you probably need to install "flash' player)

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
Definition of Donnan equilibrium in English:
Donnan equilibrium
The equilibrium reached between two ionic solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane when one or more of the kinds of ion present cannot pass through the membrane. The result is a difference in osmotic pressure and electrical potential between the solutions.
- 'In conclusion, we have established the role played by high-salt incubation and Donnan equilibrium in understanding the osmotic shock properties of viral capsids.'
- 'Again, this is due to the Donnan equilibrium effect, i.e., to the difference between inside and outside salt concentrations arising from the large density of fixed charge confined in the capsid.'
- 'Because the charge on hemoglobin, and therefore the magnitude of the Donnan equilibrium, changes with pH, the chloride concentration in the cells varies with pH.'
- 'In fact, if enough incubation buffer is added to the viruses, the concentration of multivalent ions can be made so small that they no longer contribute significantly to DNA charge neutralization nor thus to the Donnan equilibrium.'
- 'A time-honored way to take into account the difference between salt concentrations inside and outside the capsid during the incubation phase, due to Donnan equilibrium effects, is within the context of a cell model treatment.'
Early 20th century: named after Frederick G. Donnan (1870–1956), British physical chemist.

Needs a shoehorn.
Funny, at 6'2" and over three hundred, I resemble this post.
"No, do you? I can check your oil while I'm under there…"
From a prurient perspective this is just wrong. Reminds me of one of the campers from Gill McFinn's blog.
"Do I look like a clown to you?"
Good one!
Thanks! Anecdote (even though this is yesterday's 'toon, you're the author). My wife and I would play pool at the Aussie pun in Pacific Beach every Saturday morning – brewskis, eggs/hashbrowns, etc. A freaken toon car (ok, a Mitsubishi something) pulled in, full of blokes. Rugby players. They piled outta the car (wheels splayed out), and tumbled like puppies into the bar… 'cept they were punching the snot outta each other – and laughing about it. And the black cook, in his checkers, did the dog-plle-on-da-wabbit thing and jumped in. Then, they unpeeled, and bloodied up, piled back into the junker car (wheels groaning and squeaking) and scraped away in a cloud of blue exhaust. Funniest damn thing I ever seen.
Oh, and an alternate line might be: "You funnin' me, Bub?"

So, anyone hear about the BP execs?
Woooo – looks like Trudeau got rejected for a loan, huh?
This is also the timeline of Wall Street's progress.
Must be talking about Immelt. GE paid no federal taxes last year, and now wants a 3.2 billion dollar tax credit, while cutting the benefits of the new hires and non-union workers, and doubling Immelts compensation.
He certainly is being paid obscenely well for no values.
Just be patient a little longer. When the revolution comes, they'll all be hanging from the lamp posts.
The Seven Ages of Man?
I have a dusty black book somewhere that says something about envy being a deadly sin. We all choose our path at youth, some want a family and home in their 20s. Some own your family and home in their thirties. Choice, once the die is tossed——–
oh yes. and absolute power corrupts absolutely
lewreader: what does your dusty black book say about avarice?
You have to be pretty old, like me, to remember when your local banker was a valued and respected member of the community.
That's still true of many small, locally-owned banks, sandfan — and there are many of those. Not as many as there used to be, of course; the mega-banks buy them up or squeeze them out…rather like Wal-Mart in the retail industry. As consumers we go along with it for the lower prices and other conveniences, but we give up in other ways at least as much as we get.
If we insisted on more of our institutions being smaller and run within the communities they benefit, I wonder whether many of the problems and inequities we see now would not exist.
Nothing new here. I've known for most of my life that the actual value-to-humanity of your job multiplied by your paycheck equals a constant (that is, the less the world needs your job, the more you seem to get paid for it). Back in my corporate days, I found that my wife (a nurse, who helps people return to health and normal activity after heart attacks and surgery) got paid about half what I received for developing telecom stuff to fill "needs" that most people didn't notice they'd had. Meanwhile, the CEO, who reduced the company's value by 99 percent (that is, took the share price from 70 dollars to 70 cents in about two years) walked away with a four million dollar bonus. Maybe the money is indeed "compensation" (as it's called) for the knowledge that you chose not to do something useful with your life.
Also a picture of the evolution of our whole society.
A repeat, but more true than ever.

I am Architect in San Francisco with our my Architectural firm operated by my wife and I. My wife is a 3rd generation San Franciscan and I moved to San Francisco in 1978 after being raised in Oak Park Illinois, a Chicago suburb.
The Owner purchased this apartment in 1980
After travels around the USA during my college years I fell in love with San Francisco on my first visit to California and moved here after I graduated from college.
I came here with a friend for a week in mid-June. Had stayed in hotels downtown during previous visits, and wanted to try an apt. This was such a nice property- very spacious, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings. Very nice deck we used for afternoon quiet time. Close to Church ST, so convenient to MUNI for going downtown or other parts of the city. Immediate neighborhood was great, with variety of restaurants, coffee houses, etc. We had windows open much of the time, to take advantage of the nice cool air, and it was very quiet.
Owners live in apt. below, and they were great. I hope I'll have the chance to stay here again!
Just like the pictures and even better! This apt. met all of our needs and was extremely convenient to the city and fun surrounding spots. The muni is down the block, cafe's around the corner, whole foods walking distance, and a good sense of Noe valley! The deck was nice to step out and view the gardens below and if not just to enjoy the sun! Again great place, great location, parking was no hassle. Will keep this in mind for my next visit!
We stayed in Louis and Carol's top floor flat while visiting our daughter in San Francisco. Everything is as nice as the other reviews. The beds were very comfortable, the furnishings wonderfully kept. Carol has a green thumb and the indoor plants as well as the vegetables and herbs on the deck were a nice addition. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need and deck was terrific for breakfast as well as a glass of wine after a long day of sightseeing! The neighborhood...very quiet..and I'm a light sleeper. Close to the Bart and easy access to major highways. I would definitely recommend a stay...you may even get a piece of Carol's lemon pound cake (from lemons off her tree downstairs)...thank you Carol!
This apartment was really great. A very nice kitchen with access to outside deck and a great grill was my favorite part. The apartment is pretty big, with two bedrooms and a huge bathroom. The living room is very nice too and it even has a dinning room! The location is fantastic. Couple of blocks from 24th street and easy access to public transportation on Church st. We were very happy with our rental and chances are that we will be back.
We stayed here for a week in August while settling our son into College. The apartment is as per the photos, very clean and tidy, comfortable beds, excellent outdoor area that became a favourite for eating breakfast. The owners are very nice and even made us some cookies for our son! I am a little reluctant to right this review as hoping the apartment will be available for our next visit as we felt very at ease staying there.
The apartment was very clean and aesthetically furnished.
The owners were very helpful and responded to all our queries in time. They had also stocked the house with many useful items.

A study published today in medical journal The Lancet proves that ADHD is a genetic disorder.
Anita Thapar, professor at Cardiff University, says, "Too often, people dismiss ADHD as being down to bad parenting or poor diet. As a clinician, it was clear to me that this was unlikely to be the case. Now we can say with confidence that ADHD is a genetic disease and that the brains of children with this condition develop differently to those of other children."
Dr. Nigel Williams, also of Cardiff, says, "Children with ADHD have a significantly higher rate of missing or duplicated DNA segments compared to other children and we have seen a clear genetic link between these segments and other brain disorders."
The research also shows that there is "some overlap between ADHD and autism in terms of symptoms and learning difficulties." The most significant of which was found on chromosome 16 "which has been previously implicated in schizophrenia and other major psychiatric disorders."

1. 100 $ max iem
2. Listening on laptop and phone
3. Genres from classical to whatever you wish (aside from hip-hop/rap)
4. Sound should be able to be a bit bassy but balanced overall
1. I have bought only 1 pair of headphones up until now (brainwavz m2) which had 1 canal dieing on me after I threw them gently on my bed after only 2 months of use- I'm no flinstone, the bed is not made out of rock
2. I have done some searching but there's a jungle of reviews out there and it's too hard for me
3. I have been fairly satisfied with the quality and sound of those brainwavz m2's
4. There is no way for me to test the headphones before I buy them as i live in romania and there is only 1 (ONE!!!) shop which is dedicated to headphones and such and it sells everything with 25-50% more than what you can order from anywhere else...
5. I think I have not been that abusive to my previous headphones.
6. I do not have money to buy multiple headphones to test them, change them or whatnot. I want to buy one pair and use it for some good 2-3 years as I have used the iem's that came with my previous and current phone (samsung galaxy s and an i9070 s advance) before they get worn out (plastic gets from whit to yellow, loses some of its elastic properties, breaks or one of the canals stop working)
Thank you very much for your help and have a good day!

It's hard to ignore Phil Knight's influence on the University of Oregon campus—from the library named after his family, to the law school named for his dad, to the basketball arena named after Knight's son.
Those on the Eugene campus are always aware of what his cash has bought. But his latest endeavorâa $68 million,145,000-square-foot football training facilityâcaught the eye of the New York Times.
A NYT reporter took a three-hour tour of the Ducks' building and writes in an Aug. 2 article about its amenities, such as Nike football leather upholstered walls, locker rooms that can be accessed with a thumbprint scan, foosball tables imported from Barcelona (because everyone knows they make the best ones), and at least 250 television screens.
âWe are the University of Nike,â Jeff Hawkins, the senior associate athletic director of football administration and operations told the New York Times. âWe embrace it. We tell that to our recruits.â

All Eyes Now Focusing On Acquisition Of Amarin 92 comments
After Astra Zenaca's (NYSE:AZN) shocking announcement of offering more than 80% premium to buy Omthera (NASDAQ:OMTH), a free fatty acid Omega-3 therapy not yet approved for the very high triglyceride market and with no regulatory exclusivity or long-term patents, and with no development stage combining use with statins, all eyes now focus on Amarin (NASDAQ:AMRN). AZN's bid for OMTH seems to confirm that AMRN's management is doing the right thing by holding out for the very highest offer it can get for shareholders. It's now clear that offers were made to Amarin, but they were not high enough. I have stated multiple time the offer would need to be in the upper $20s range to excite management. Now, AZN and others should be scrambling to bid for AMRN. It's the likely catalyst needed to get serious bidders to the table now, vs. later in the year when FDA approves Vascepa for the wider high triglyceride indication.
Ask yourself, if AZN is willing to pay an 88% premium for a fledgling company only showing clinical results similar to Lovaza's $1-2B market, but without FDA approval yet, and no IP or developed statin program -- what should big pharma pay for AMRN, a company with FDA approval for Lovaza's indication and FDA approval coming in December for a market 10X larger, plus a developed statin program, and more than 19 patents granted through 2030. That's why my target is near $30.Back To Steve Rosenman's Instablog HomePage »

I recently read a review of a study from the Archives of Internal Medicine done in 2005, titled "Effect of Different Anti-lipidemic Agents and Diets on Mortality: A Systematic review," that may change our mind about the importance of your cholesterol on your health.
Key points from the study:
• The study harvested the best available evidence from a total of 97 studies which evaluated the effect on mortality by lowering lipids with various methods.
• 137,140 individuals received various intervention and 138,976 individuals were controls.
• Omega-3 fats (fish oils) did the best job at reducing death from all causes (mean reduction of 23%) and death from heart problems (mean reduction 32%), but did the worst job at lowering blood cholesterol levels.
• Statin drugs did the best at lowering blood cholesterol and were 10 times more effective than omega-3 fats, however omega-3 fats were 44% more effective than Statin drugs in reducing cardiac related deaths and 32% more effective in reducing death from all reasons.
• "Omega-3 fatty acids lower cholesterol levels to a very small extent which indicates their beneficial effects are from some other means, such as their anti-rhythmic properties, their membrane stabilizing effects, as well as their anti-inflammatory properties" from Dr. Dan Murphy
This study is extremely important because the results of this study question whether lowering cholesterol should be such a focus for overall health. Omega-3 fats anti-rhythmic, anti-inflammatory, and cell membrane stabilizing effects theoretically suggest that the main focus should not be on lowering cholesterol, but improving the overall environment of the body that the cholesterol operates through reduction of inflammation and improvement of overall health with proper lifestyle changes.
Here is the link to the 2005 Study. Click on PDF text.
agreed Steve, confirms Big Pharma interest but also makes us realize that BO of Amrn will require 4- 5 billion not 400 million. not too surprised that MM are keeping price below Friday close. frustrating doesnt give us longs justice on the sideways move on this stock. I just cant see us going from 6.80 to 30.

We go to new highs on FDA approval for Anchor. You saw $19 with Marine, take a guess how high for anchor approval. The OMTH situation changes things dramatically though, in my view. Competitors need to get in now, and if they do, they beat AZN to market on both Anchor and combined with statins. It is actually a situation that potentially just up'd AMRNs takeout price, given marketing of Marine is late 2014 for AZZ and OMTH and Anchor would be 2017-2018 earliest, with combined statins being 2020-2022. AMRN is Anchor approved this year, marketed early 2104, and statins right after...
Not_Quite_Pheidippides, contributorComments (419) | + Follow Following - UnfollowIt's all about Crestor; AZN is trying to use OMTH to extend Crestor's lifespan with a combo pill. Crestor is going generic soon, but if they can put together a combo with extended protection, it will save them big money. To put things in perspective, the buyout price of OMTH (including the contingent payouts) is LESS THAN 6 weeks worth of Crestor sales. If it even helps Crestor stay on top of the market one more quarter, it will have been a great investment.
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
Not_Quite_Pheidippides, contributorComments (419) | + Follow Following - UnfollowI think they were just being cheap. End of story. CEOs make hundred-million dollar mistakes all the time, and they're not career-ending. Purchases in the billions, though... I think they didn't have the guts to pull the trigger. (Corporate debt is so cheap these days, though, you gotta believe GSK or PFE could afford to pony up. Only, it's hard to buy something when it might be even cheaper tomorrow...)
"Summer Street says Amarin's Vascepa was downplayed by a company insider at a primary care conference held in Washington DC last week. The firm notes that a member of Amarin's steering committee said in a lecture that there is no reason to give Vascepa to patients with triglyceride levels below 500 until the outcome trial is complete. Summer Street continues to believe the FDA will not approve Vascepa for triglycerides below 500 until the outcome study is complete"
Didnt GSK get fined for promoting off-label use? AMRN too smart to openly do that. IF Summer Street is short as suggested below, this off-label use sounds like a set-up question to highlight something,anything, negative.
So far though, AMRN has been a hard pill to swallow. Longs taking one heck of a beating. Hasnt been an easy hold, that's for sure.

Not enjoying the roller coaster ride I take it. This is what happens when you buck the trend and set off on your own. WS hates it when a company does not conform to the norm, but it is not everyday a drug like Vascepa is born. Know the science and your investment and you won't mind the bumpy ride so much. Remember it is the science and medicine that will win out as what you are seeing is the early stages of people seeing great result and jumping on board and yet with a paltry salesforce as you put it.
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
That point would be a valid one in many case with many drugs, but not here. Why you ask? Because we are competing against GSK which has a lot of cash but yet we are growing and they are shrinking. Hence, the better medicine will always win out and sell itself and by the time AZN/Omthera get on the scene we will be well established as the one to beat. I just don't see how Epanova could top Vascepa and by then my guess is it would be Lipitor/Vascepa combo. I get why AZN did what they did was to get in the combo drug market cheap and fast, which will take some market share from Liptor/Vascepa but not enough to matter.
Regardless, if Summer Street asserts that an Amarin insider stated that Vascepa shouldn't be in play for the 200 - 500 mg/dl indication until REDUCE IT outcome is known, Amarin's management needs to respond to this NOW. If this is true, heads need to roll and management needs to clarify or end up in shareholder lawsuits.
SS insinuates that an AMRN insider made that statement, but it's not even close to being true - a "member of Amarin's steering committee" = one of the doctors who helped run one or more of the clinical trials. Anyone want to be this person will turn out to be none other than Dr. Nissin or someone else associated with the Cleveland clinic?

I'm done guys--this has been one year of hell!
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributorexp456,
I am thinking of selling as well, good luck to you. I like you get tired of hearing bad news after bad news and keep hearing how we are going to be alright.
If you are truly a "stock genius", have done your DD on Vascepa, you wouldn't even consider being panicked out of your AMRN shares by all the BS being spread around today - you'd just be joining the mindless lemmings jumping off the cliff (likely losing your $$ shirt) that are being prodded from behind by the shorts and manipulators - IOW, doing exactly what they want, scare retailers out on the cheap. Krammer calls it "fomenting" - I call it outright lying.
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
Good luck EXP456. By the sound of your 1st post on AMRN back in January I am shocked you stayed in it so long as negative as you were. You wonder why someone would be so negative questioning everything and stay a long. Good luck to you. Maybe you can put your money in MNKD as you see patience pays off. All in on MNKD and AMRN here.

Let us look at the OMTH charts. Last Tuesday, the short percentage was almost 80% of the float. Then, last Wednesday, the short percentage of the float went to almost zero on very heavy volume. Hmmmm. Looks like this was an open secret late last week.
That the brings us the the bash articles on Friday. Another preplanned attack. Must be a coincidence. Nothing like some stock manipulation after a three day weekend.
By the way, I did notice how the statement that ANCHOR won't be approved is now being back tracked to ANCHOR sales will disappoint on the one in a million chance it is approved. I was waiting for that argument to pop up.
"Let us look at the OMTH charts. Last Tuesday, the short percentage was almost 80% of the float. Then, last Wednesday, the short percentage of the float went to almost zero on very heavy volume. Hmmmm. Looks like this was an open secret late last week."
Reasons why ANCHOR needs to be approved:
Bought more $10 strikes today. I love pain! I sometimes wonder if there is a battle going on behind the scenes and AZN dropped out. OMTH went public recently and certainly they would have held off if buyout discussion were serious. So it seems AZN changed direction recently for a reason. Maybe its wishful thinking but the only thing that makes sense to me at this point.
I've got to agree with you on PFE. AZN was first in line I have believed for some time but just weren't willing to pony up the money (or couldn't compete with current negotiations). Two interesting factors currently with Pfizer. 1) They announce planned split off of Zoetis which has treated them very well (shareholders of Pfizer can shift a negotiated amount of shares over to ZTS at a 7% discount thus cleaning up house and keeping them as they say "focused on its core business as an innovative biopharmaceutical company".
I doubt PFE floated those new notes to do anything other than retire the ones coming due in 2013/2014, $4B is a pittance compared to their current cash hoard ($35.41B) and debt levels ($40.40B).
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributorSteve,
I am not so happy about this purchase of Omthera it tells me AZN walked away from us. I wish I knew the reason, if it was due to the fact that Joe wanted to much money this could be problematic.
I can not emphasize how ridiculous it would be to not prescribe Vascepa to ANCHOR patients, sure some might say that, but who knows if there is a conflict of interest there...
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributorJolk,
I wonder and again it is total speculation. If Joey wants to much, or wants more than BP is willing to give. I think he needs to look at what it will take in the next two years to make this a BB, before OMTH gets out there.
Amarin will have more than a year under their belt before OMTH/AZN gets a sniff of sales.
It is pretty much proven we are superior to all drugs in the marine indication and have many catalysts such as combo and anchor in the near future. This stock is worth a absolute minimum of $ 15 a share ( most likely double + that). It is a matter of time and it will happen. I admit it is frustrating but in the end I am confident we will all be happy jzand company held off on taking a low ball offer.
I think there isn't much use in discussing the OMTH purchase with relation to AMRN.
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
Amarin (AMRN -6.4%) trades lower on negative comments out of Summer Street this morning, saying that Vascepa might not be as key as previously thought. The firm notes that a member of AMRN's steering committee presented at a primary care conference last week, and said there was no reason to give Vascepa to patients with triglycerides <500 mg/dL until the outcome of current trials are completed, and, even if approval is granted early, sales are likely to disappoint.
To be clear: AZN did not pass on AMRN; they really were never in the game. Their CEO is on record stating their near-term acquisitions will be focused on small, under $500MM buyouts. It's a failed strategy that cannot be near-term accretive to their growth. For that, you need a company upand ready to go, like AMRN with approvals, patents and next steps already taken.
PFE is also divesting its 80% stake in Zoetis, the deal to be closed by June 19. PFE received $2 billion for the first 20% it sold in the Feb. Zoetis IPO. It will be an exchange offer subject to certain restrictions, one of which is the exchange of a minimum of 160,394,000 shares, up to a total of 400,985,000 shares. That 40% minimum gives them at least $4 billion +, and if they divest all the shares upwards of $8-9 billion. They announced this on May 22. The AZN deal is announced 6 days later. So PFE has the money. The timing seems about right too.
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
Steve, I am a devoted acolyte of Vascepa.......Amarin???, not so much....
Also, with Epanova containing a fair amount of DHA just as Lovaza does, I would assume it may very well get an A-Fib warning if it would make it to market.
Iamstockgeniusjustaskme, contributor
The crazy thing about this stock is the company would be able to sell itself in a heartbeat for $10-12 a share which is a 35 to almost 50percent increase to its current price. Us longs should be buying up as much as possible at these levels. Take advantage of it as it will pay off, how much is the question.
