Mitsubishi Tanabe can now manufacture and market Tenelia 20mg tablets in Japan
Singapore: Japanese company Mitsubishi Tanabe has received approval to manufacture and market the selective DPP-4 inhibitor Tenelia 20mg tablets (Teneligliptin hydrobromide hydrate) in Japan.
Tenelia is a DPP-4 inhibitor created by Mitsubishi Tanabe and is the first drug of its kind to originate from Japan. In August 2011, Mitsubishi Tanabe applied for manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan, and approval was subsequently received based on the drug's efficacy in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus when satisfactory improvement cannot be achieved through diet and exercise, or by a combination of diet and exercise with the use of sulfonylurea- or thiazolidine-class drugs.
Tenelia suppresses glucagon release and increases insulin release, subsequently lowering blood-glucose levels by inhibiting the activity of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), an enzyme that selectively inactivates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone excreted from the gastrointestinal tract in response to food ingestion. Tenelia, with its potent and sustained action, has made it highly effective in lowering each of the blood glucose postprandial levels, as well as fasting blood glucose levels, with once-a-day administration.
Following its inclusion in the NHI drug price list, Daiichi Sankyo and Mitsubishi Tanabe will begin joint marketing under one brand name Tenelia 20mg tablets. By providing this new treatment option for type 2 diabetes mellitus, the two companies hope to support patients who are combating this disease.

That isn't true.
Just because you want to fight a guy doesn't mean you are mentally weak. Who knows what Kobe said to him? We know that he at least called Dwight soft, if he said anything more I wouldn't be shocked if half the NBA players would go after him as well.
Michael Jordan sure as hell wouldn't take that and i don't you'd call him mentally weak.
you're all getting trolled so hard. do some homework.
Can we close this now?

There is nothing Trolling about that pic of my logic.
You can play buddy buddy with someone that doesn't mean past tensions or issues haven't existed or that future ones may not either.
Maybe all this Dwight / Kobe tension is a media fabrication but based on things both D12 and Kobe have said recently I doubt it is.
Closing because it seems to be a non-issue now and this thread seems like it's about to go into the shitters.

Live Blog 12:00-1:00AM
Here's a picture of my daughter, look at it and I'll cut your eyes out and take a wiz in your ocular cavity:
Before we get things started, here are some discussion topics:
-Should Audrey get a silent clock?
-What crappy news story is Fox5NY working on tonight? Also, is Toni the anti-christ?
-Chinese, Arabs, Russians. What is the next ethnic group to face Jack's wrath?
I bet you're asking how I plan on live blogging while transporting highly sensitive nuclear components to angry Chinese, while CTU tries to twart me. Well with Jack Sack Lite, I have been reunited with my Treo 650 which makes phone calls, blows up terrorists, and also allows me to liveblog from the road.
-O'Doyle runs like a girl and commandeers cars like one too.
"Jack Bauer has gone rouge count": 1
-Morris climbs stairs like a girl.
-Milo cross references sattelite uplinks like a girl.
-President Palmer, always watched FoxNews. VP Daniels is a CNB type-of-guy. They should have thought that out before they made the ticket.
Question: How many times has Weasel "given his word" this season?
12:10 (Commercial Break)
Chew on this: Jack drives a Toyota, the Chinese drive an American car.
-President Daniels "is" looking to get some Oval Office action....
"Go grab a cigar, I'll put on my ball gag" Did they really just say that?
-Nadia bosses people around like a girl.
-Does Morris know that Chloe has shot 2 people over the past few seasons?
-Another black dude on 24? How will they kill him off?
zzzzzzzzzzz wake me when the filler is done.
12:23 (Commercial Break)
Random midget Claritan commercial. Does he have to break the pills in half?
Chew on this: The President's "chief of staff" was on a show called "Shark".
Are you smarter than a 5th grader?
-The music tells me something is about to happen.
-Nadia almost cracked a smile while talking to Doyle. I guess thoughts of him riding his little electric train would make even the hardest bitch crack a smile.
-Boobie trap set. Boobie...heh.
-Jack gets an answering machine? What the hell?
12:34 (Commercial Break)
For those of you new to 24, it's now coming up to 45 minutes past the hour. That means the shooting is about to start. It's 24 Law.
-Window puppet shows are illegal in New York? I smell 24-Season 8.
-bRight & Early ate Taco Bell before the show, so he's not going to make it to the shooting scene. Thankfully for people like him can, you can recap the show tomorrow with VtheK's TiVO Recap.
-Is someone counting how many times the word "resignation" has been used tonight? My guess = 12 times.
-Karen just fired her husband? Bill took the news like a girl. Bill is going to go rouge.
-Did they just make the Muslim the acting director of CTU? She has only been there like 17 hours or something and has already been accused of being a mole. Come to think of it, she's perfect.
Chew on this: No CTU guards wearing white shirts have been killed this season.
12:47 (Commercial Break)
I get sick to the stomach anytime I see a preview for a Nicolas Cage movie.
Useless Fox5NY 24 Story: "A Big shocker to end the season, we check on the set for hints" - isn't this the same news team who decried spoilers a few weeks ago?
Cue Kill Counter
Audrey looks like hell. Which is saying a lot because she wasn't that hot to begin with.
(Jack is thinking): If he calls me Mr. Bower one more time....
-Jack is down!!! Again.
Shot 2 more dudes (2 points, +2 combo) = 4 points
-Speaking of hummers, where is the president?
Jack has been in handcuffs more times that Tennessee Titans Cornerback PacMan Jones. Google him if that just went over your head.
-Not Audrey? Chopper down. Jack's plan is not looking so good.
Next week:
Audrey bot....Russian spy...Jack yells.

Reynolds explains plan to split of Telecom NZ into separate network and services companies
Read more: Telecom Telecom New Zealand Telecom NZ Chorus Openreach BT
CEO Paul Reynolds wants to split Telecom New Zealand to allow the independent infrastructure company to bid for state broadband funds. Shareholders and government will consider his plans in October Paul Reynolds: We'll be the first telco in the world to voluntarily separate. We'd be on the road by early 2011 with separate management teams Paul Reynolds, the CEO of Telecom New Zealand, is proposing to break the company into two — an infrastructure company and a services company that would own no infrastructure. If he succeeds in his project, he will be a pioneer — because he means more than operational separation, which Telecom NZ and a number of others already offer — but a complete division into two independently owned companies. "We'll be the first telco in the world to voluntarily separate," he tells Global Telecoms Business. And the move, to be formally proposed to the New Zealand government as regulator and holder of a controlling share by the end of October 2010, will benefit shareholders by as much as 30%, he says. "The Telecom New Zealand share price has been depressed," he says. "There would probably be a 30% rerating" if the demerger plan went ahead. A deal would need not only the government's support, but also that of 75% of shareholders. The result could be two independent companies by July 2011, says Reynolds. "We'd be on the road by early 2011 with separate management teams." This would be easier in New Zealand than in many places, as the company already has a quasi-independent infrastructure division, Chorus, which is responsible for the fixed network used by Telecom NZ's own retail operations as well as by that of its competitors, including subsidiaries of Telstra — Australia's incumbent operator, which has a significant business in New Zealand — and Vodafone. In the proposals that Reynolds and his colleagues are putting together, shareholders would receive one share in each of the two new companies for each share in the existing business. "They would then be completely separate legal entities," says Reynolds. The spur for this move is a project by the New Zealand government to invest in fibre-to-the-home networks. The government has set up a company, Crown Fibre Holdings, to invest NZ $1.5 billion (not quite US $1.1 billion) in a public-private partnership to fund an open-access ultra-fast broadband network, with the aim of getting service to 75% of the population by the end of 2019. Taxpayers' money CFH defines ultra-fast broadband as 100 megabits a second downstream and 50 megabits upstream. It has invited operators to participate in this project, "but there will be no taxpayers' money to anyone with a retail operation", says Reynolds. That means Telecom NZ, even though it already has a national network, cannot bid for any of the CFH money unless it can separate retail operations from the infrastructure business. The rule also applies to other operators in the New Zealand market, he points out, including Telstra and Vodafone. The timetable is tight. Crown Fibre Holdings has already received expressions of interest from 33 operators and, according to chairman Simon Allen, it plans to recommend the "preferred investment partners" to the government in October 2010, "with the initiative commencing before the end of the year", he said in July. Allen is a former ABN Amro banker who later chaired the New Zealand stock exchange. "We've put our proposals to the government in order to get this money," says Reynolds. But for that, the infrastructure company would have to be an independent legal entity from the retail operation. "We could serve the whole industry if we demerged," he says. A deal would be good for Telecom NZ and for the country, he says. "We're a small country at the edge of the earth. The cost of getting broadband is more than in other countries. We could have a very efficient deployment, with our existing resources and with the new fibre." The new companies, if the government and the shareholders agree with his proposals, would both be listed on the New Zealand stock exchange, and both would probably be protected against foreign takeover by a so-called "Kiwi share", controlled by the government. Reynolds is clearly excited by the proposal, which — though he didn't say so — can be seen as a logical progression not only from the creation of Chorus but also from BT's earlier creation of Openreach as its local loop infrastructure provider in the UK a few years before. BT negotiated the formation of Openreach — in operation from the start of 2006 — as a quasi-independent business that would work equally for all UK retail providers, including its own BT Retail. Openreach mark two It's no coincidence that Reynolds was CEO of BT Wholesale, out of which Openreach was created, until the middle 2007, when he was recruited by Telecom NZ. Chorus, in some senses, is Openreach mark two. Though there are more rules: 200 pages for Chorus compared with just 60 for Openreach, he grumbles, "and no commitment to take regulation away. In the UK we got retail deregulation." [GTB interviewed Reynolds on 21CN in early 2006 http://www.globaltelecomsbusiness.com/Article/2199541/Search/Results/The-big-test-for-21CN.html and Reynolds wrote for GTB on his new task in New Zealand the following year: http://www.globaltelecomsbusiness.com/Article/2199411/Search/Results/Power-to-the-people.html . Reynolds won a personal award in the Global Telecoms Business Innovation Awards of 2008 for the work he had done at BT and had started to do at Telecom New Zealand. See http://www.globaltelecomsbusiness.com/Article/2200953/Search/Results/GTB-announces-winners-of-2008-Innovation-Awards.html ] But full separation, as he is planning in New Zealand, is very different from the managed functional separation that led to the creation of Openreach in the UK and Chorus at the other side of the planet. When he arrived in New Zealand in 2007 "the country had switched from one of the least regulated to one of he most regulated markets in the world, pretty much overnight", he says. At the same time the government wanted Telecom NZ to invest heavily in broadband, from a position in which, he admits, broadband was poor. "High capex was required." And, he adds, the company ran a CDMA mobile network that was "out of date and losing market share." That's even though it is a 3G network — that is, EVDO. It is closing down on November 30 2010. In its place the company has switched to the GSM family, to build a new 3G network with HSPA. That's not been comfortable: launched in the middle of 2009, the HSPA network suffered a number of crashes six months later. CTO Frank Mount resigned after the last, in February 2010. But now the peak speed of 21 megabits is available "to where 97% of New Zealanders live and work", says Reynolds. And the company has built fibre to the node to serve "60% of the country", he adds. "People are getting 17 megabits where the cabinets are installed. The infrastructure build has been sensational." Fibre and a new mobile network pushed capex up for a few years, something Reynolds warned investors about at his first conference for them in 2008. "We told them of our five-year plan, and said that earnings were going to decline." Regulated prices were going to fall, capex had to double and ebitda was going to decline. Fixed dividend "We rewarded investors with a fixed dividend of 24 cents a share," says Reynolds. At the current share price — which has hovered between NZ $2 and $3 for the past few years — that's around 10%. "The shareholders have been pretty good about it, to be honest," he adds, though the price is well below the $5 level of mid-2007. "We've had strong investor support," he insists. Meanwhile he's been wrestling with the consequences of the recession, and — like telecoms CEOs the world over — struggling to reduce costs, "and all the issues that telcos have to face, including no new revenue in the market and none forecast for three years". Now, "there is a huge focus on costs", he says: cutting costs, to be accurate. "We've taken $300 million out of the cost base this year alone." Much of this has been achieved by improving staff relations and reducing truck rolls, "so we get it right first time, and don't do abortive visits". According to Reynolds, staff motivation "is up 20%", thanks to "a massive focus on communications and approachability", he says: "We're communicating like mad." Reynolds did a similar job at BT around five years ago, when the company was planning its all-IP network, the so-called 21st century network. Then he spent months hiking round just about every site in the company, promoting the idea of the project and enthusing the staff. In New Zealand, "the mantra is one of keeping customers at the heart", he says. Previously the focus "was more on financial engineering". But at the same time, extraordinarily, Telecom NZ's staff conditions have been tough. Wages have been frozen, around 200 senior and middle managers have been fired, and field engineers have been made self-employed. He does not miss the managers, describing the approach as "hard-nosed", to rebuild the business as it would have been "if we had built it from scratch". And the result? "Once you make the change, the business runs more smoothly because there are fewer people in the way." Tools and trucks The field engineers now own their own tools and trucks and "they are paid by the job done", says Reynolds, so there is an incentive to get the job right first time. If there's a fault within a month of a visit, "they have to fix it for free", he says. "The guys can control what they earn. They previously got paid for turning up for work. Now if they work twice as hard, they are paid twice as much." Some work for six days a week until 9pm, others "do enough work to allow them to finish by Wednesday", he adds. There was some resistance from some staff, "and some guys didn't want to work for themselves, but their mates did, so one guy can employ 10 of his mates. We found a way through." As a result "for the business, our costs are less", says Reynolds. This, and other measures, mean that Telecom NZ is in a much healthier state. On August 20 2010 the company announced that earnings had stabilised after two years of decline. Free cash flow grew by 28% to NZ $128 million, the first growth since what Reynolds still calls "the regulatory shock of 2006", when separation was first mooted. "Capex and earnings have stabilised," he says. Now, he has his eyes on the further growth possibilities if the company is split into two, with one part — the infrastructure company — eligible for some of that $1.5 billion the government is offering. But before then there are laws to be passed and shareholders to be consulted. Assuming it happens, which part would Reynolds be interested in staying with? "It's too soon to say that," he retorts. "I'm building the management teams for the new companies. I'm totally focused on getting the right deal for shareholders." It will be a challenge, he admits: "There is no more complex job anywhere. No incumbent telco has undergone such rapid change. That's kept me on my toes." GTB Further reading:

The non-waiver trading deadline has come and gone, but teams still have another month to add talent due to the waiver deadline. The waiver process goes like this. Each team, in reverse order of the overall standings this season, gets a chance to claim a player. If a claim is made, the original team has three options: 1. Let the player go without compensation 2. Take the player off waivers...

Deadline deals are being made while this is written, but the National League boasts three true titans. In fact, the Phillies, Giants and Atlanta Braves rank among the top 5 teams in MLB for overall record, win differential and most pitching categories (Red Sox and Yankees being the remaining two) but what happens when these teams play head-to-head? The Phillies and Giants just completed a three...

No Pence for Phillies
Posted on 28 Jul 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
In the light of day, we now have heard what kinds of Trading Deadline deals are being rejected. Apparently the Phillies had targeted Houston Astros Hunter Pence as their answer to their search for a right-handed hitting corner outfielder. Plans to bring Pence on board to hit fifth behind Ryan Howard and solidify the right field position have been thwarted, causing Ruben Amaro and company to hea...

Pirates: Let's Make A Deal
Posted on 21 Jul 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
Last night, I took part in the latest Pro Sports Blogging podcast to discuss the amazing turnaround of the Pittsburgh Pirates so far this year. We spent time trying to figure out how the Pirates have succeeded this year, examining the key players, the past 18 years and what moves the Pirates may make as the July 31st trade deadline quickly approaches. As I told Adrian, this is something tot...

Mayors Back Call for Gun Regulation
A day after President Obama issued calls for expanded gun rules, the country's mayors are echoing his call for an assault weapons ban.
The country's mayors echoed President Barack Obama's call for a ban on automatic weapons and high-capacity gun magazines at their winter conference in Washington, D.C. Thursday.
While tragedies like the mass shooting of students in Newtown, Conn. and movie-goers in Aurora, Colo., have raised the profile of the debate about gun regulation, mayors attending the conference emphasized that gun violence has long been a scourge of major cities.
"The fact of the matter is, we've been committing slow-motion mass-murder for years," Kansas City, Mo. Mayor Sly James said during a press conference a few blocks from the White House Thursday morning.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors -- and more than 270 mayors attending the meeting -- have not yet formally adopted a response to the president's lengthy list of proposed steps to reduce gun violence announced yesterday, said Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
But Nutter did emphasize the organization's long-standing support for stricter gun laws. Last month, more than 200 mayors signed a letter to federal leaders calling for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, strengthening of the background check system, and harsher penalties for straw purchases of guns.
"It is time for our country to deal with this," Charleston, S.C. Mayor Joe Riley said. "It's time for Congress to deal with this. I believe what the President of the United States has recommended is a sound, comprehensive, reasonable, common-sensical approach that can make our country safer."
Yesterday, the president announced a series of proposals intended to curb gun violence. In addition to calling for legislation to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, he also proposed other reforms too, like lifting the federal ban on gun violence research and offering financial assistance to schools seeking to hire police officers and counselors.
The president also proposed making background checks for all gun sales mandatory and backed reforms for the background check system by encouraging sharing of information between states and reducing regulatory burdens that may lead to incomplete data.
Some of those reforms -- in particular the assault weapons and high-capacity magazine bans -- will require congressional action, and in a bitterly divided Washington, that debate could be lengthy and hard-fought.
Vice President Joe Biden, who touted the president's plan during a 45-minute speech at the mayor's conference Thursday, said the administration is ready for a long political battle. "I've been in this fight for a long time," Biden said. "I have no illusions about the fight that's in front of us. But I know full well the political obstacles that will be thrown up against us are not impenetrable."
Aware of the political realities of major gun legislation, the White House also announced nearly two dozen executive actions the president will sign that are designed to support the reduction of gun violence too.
Officials from the National Rifle Association -- which has proposed placing armed personell in every school in America -- expressed skepticism at the president's plan.
"Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation," the organization said in a statement following the president's announcement. "Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy."
During his remarks, Biden also proposed more research on the impact that violence depicted in television, movies and video games has on young people. He said his call is "not an indictment of the industry" but merely a desire to study the topic.

Think optimism is over-rated? Perhaps a recent study that found a link between optimism and longevity will change your mind. Researchers in the Netherlands set out to determine if optimistic people live longer than their more pessimistic counterparts.
Results: During a nine-year follow-up period, researchers discovered that participants who reported higher levels of optimism were 55 percent less likely to die from any cause and 23 percent less likely to die from cardiovascular-related causes than the pessimistic group. Researchers cited several possible reasons for the correlations between optimism and longevity, including that happier people tend to engage in more physical activity and handle stress better than pessimists.
Want to increase your chances for a longer and healthier life? Try changing your outlook. And remember, things like exercise, nutrition and regular chiropractic care can help bring about positive changes in the mind and body -- changes that can potentially be life-saving.

HighPoint/CannonLab:Buffer and Osmolyte Solutions
From OpenWetWare
Contents |
Preparing Buffers
Always wear gloves to avoid contamination of your solutions with bacteria!
Stock Solutions
- Prepare stock solutions of buffer components (typically 1 M)
- Rinse clean storage bottle and filter flask an extra time
- Use type I, 18 MΩ purified water
- Drain and use your best aseptic technique from this point on
- Filter stock solutions through 0.2 μm filter
- Store in bottle for future use
- Keep the bottle closed as much as possible
- Always wear gloves and use clean instruments for removing aliquots
- This will extend the life of your stock solution before bacteria begin to grow in it
- The filtration assembly is put together as in the image on the left
- Place a 45 mm diameter, 0.2 μm pore size filter between the top and bottom halves
- Close with the metal clamp
- Place the entire assembly onto the mouth of a filter flask
- Attach the side arm to an aspirator
- Fill the reservoir with the solution to be filtered
- Repeat step 5 until the entire solution is filtered
- If the speed of filtration reduces drastically, consider replacing the filter membrane
Volumetric solution prep (e.g. Molarities)
- Determine the desired concentrations and volumes
- Calculate the mass of solute needed and weigh solute
- Dissolve the solute
- Add most of the water to a beaker with a stir bar
- A rule of thumb is subtract the grams of solute from the mL of solution desired and add that much water
- 500 mL – 87 g potassium phosphate ≈ 400 mL water
- A rule of thumb is subtract the grams of solute from the mL of solution desired and add that much water
- While stirring, gradually add the solute to the water and stir until dissolved
- Add most of the water to a beaker with a stir bar
- Add water to reach the final volume
- If high precision is not required, add water to the line on the beaker at the desired volume
- If high precision is required, transfer the solution to a volumetric flask and add water to the desired volume
- If higher precision is required, prepare the solution gravimetrically
Gravimetric solution prep (e.g. molalities)
- Determine the desired molality or mole fraction
- Calculate the masses of each component needed
- Weigh the required amount of solvent
- Weigh the required amount of solute
- Gradually add the solute to the solvent while stirring
If precision is more crucial than accuracy when using small volumes
- Weigh approximately the amount of solute required and record this mass exactly
- Calculate the mass of solvent needed to achieve the desired concentration
- Add as closely as you can the volume of solvent which would give the correct mass of solvent
- Weigh the amount of solvent added and calculate the precise concentration

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The second volume of the astonishing Earth's Children(R) series--over 34 million copies sold worldwide
In The Valley of Horses, Ayla, the unforgettable heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear, sets out on her own odyssey of discovery away from the nurturing adoptive family and friends of the Clan. She is in search of others like herself and in search of love. Driven by her intelligence, her curiosity, and her destiny, she explores where the Clan never dared to travel and encounters a hostile world of awesome mystery, glacial cold, terrifying beasts, and intense loneliness in which survival itself is a constant battle.
Sharing a hidden valley with a herd of steppe horses, Ayla finds a unique friendship with animals as vulnerable as herself and ingeniously discovers the complex skills needed to survive--skills no Clan member was ever able to master. But none of her experiences prepares her for the emotional turmoil she feels when she rescues a young man--the first of the Others she has seen--from almost certain death. Torn between her desire for human companionship and her fear of the unknown Others, she struggles against her deep attraction to the handsome Jondalar. It is Jondalar who teaches her the meaning of true friendship and love.
Once again, Jean M. Auel uses her powerful storytelling talents and her thorough understanding of human nature to take us on an amazing journey into the primordial past, re-creating the prehistoric world as it truly might have been in this compelling and timeless new epic of the dawn of civilization.

Have you ever cooked with romanesco? Also called romanesco cauliflower or romansco broccoli, it is indeed of the brassica family and looks like a mathematician's fractal experiment run wild.
It's almost too pretty to eat. But eat it we shall. Romanesco is closer in taste to cauliflower than to broccoli, but milder and nuttier than either.
In this recipe we are first steaming the romanesco florets, then lightly tossing them in a red wine vinaigrette, along with thinly sliced red onion, celery, parsley, capers, and lemon zest. We then leave everything to marinate for a bit, so the dressing seeps in, lightly pickling it.
So good! If romanesco is not available where you are, you could easily do the same treatment with cauliflower.
Romanesco Salad Recipe
PrintPrep the ingredients while you are steaming the romanesco in the first step.
- 2 heads of romanesco (2 1/2 to 3 pounds total)
- Salt
- 2 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 large red onion, or one small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup loosely packed fresh parsley leaves
- 2 Tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 anchovy, minced (optional, omit if cooking vegetarian)
- 1/4 cup high quality olive oil
1 Steam romanesco wedges: Cut the romanesco heads into quarters, stalk to tip. Cut out the tough core and any outside green leaves. Cut again lengthwise.
Place into a steamer basket in a pot with about an inch of water. Sprinkle the romanesco florets with a little salt. Bring water to a boil. Cover and steam until just tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove romanesco florets from steamer, place into a bowl, and chill.
2 Soak onion slices in water a few minutes: Thinly slice the red onion, across the grain. Place the red onion slices in a bowl and cover with water. This will take the onion-y edge off the onion, making it easier to eat raw in the salad.
3 Make dressing with smashed garlic, vinegar, salt, anchovy, olive oil: Smash the whole clove of garlic (not cut, just smash with the flat side of a chef's knife) and place in the bottom of a small bowl. Add the vinegar and salt, stir to dissolve the salt. Add the minced anchovy if using. Then whisk in the olive oil.
4 Marinate romanesco, celery, onion, parsley, capers, zest in dressing: Break up the wedges of romanesco into smaller chunks of florets. Place into a large serving bowl.
Add celery, onions (drained of the water), parsley, capers, and lemon zest.
Remove the garlic clove from the dressing and add dressing to the romanesco salad.
Toss to coat with the dressing. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, preferably an hour. Even better overnight.
Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper to serve.

"When Harry Met Salvatore"
A gay take on a great scene from one of my favorite movies, and arguably one of the best romantic comedies of all time (which I just gladly rewatched).
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Harry: You realize of course that we could never be friends.
Sal: Why not?
Harry: What I'm saying is — and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form — is that gay men can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sal: That's not true. I have a number of gay male friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry: No you don't.
Sal: Yes I do.
Harry: You only think you do.
Sal: You say I'm having sex with them without my knowledge?
Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all WANT to have sex with you.
Sal: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sal: How do you know?
Harry: Because no gay man can be friends with a man that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with him.
Sal: So, you're saying that a gay man can be friends with a man he finds unattractive?
Harry: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
Sal: What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?
Harry: Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story.
Sal: Well, I guess we're not going to be friends then.
Harry: I guess not.
Sal: That's too bad. You were the only person I knew in San Francisco.
But, at least Harry doesn't have to worry about Sal faking an orgasm (ala Meg Ryan)!
❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
Parterrians Partake in Gaiety @ The Pagoda!
Brace yourself for this historic and tragic first-ever NorCal gathering of parterre.com fans and followers! La Cieca has sanctioned it with an amusing post. We hope you can join us…I know I'm just itchin' to get on with it. Opera fanciers, queens and lovers are encouraged and welcome too.
A SF/Bay Area parterre.com Soirée…dare I say: Demented Mini-Conference? Perhaps our fair Queen Mum herself, La Cieca will descend upon our happy occasion and lead us in some gaiety. Although, Nilsson, Tebaldi and Rysanek's attendance is more likely.
Chinese Pagoda (pictured below), on Stow Lake, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
Location details: eastern tip of Stow Lake island, just south of Stow Lake waterfall, just southwest of the red star on this map.
We can mosey over to the Verdi Statue, towards the end for "Va Pensiero" and a knelt adoration. And, I'll be sure to pass by the Beethoven Statue too on the walk home to make sure he doesn't feel left out.
12 noon – 3pm, Saturday, July 31st
(If too foggy, wet or cold, our back-up date is: Saturday, August 28th.)
What to bring?
Please bring something to share, by last name, as below. (If you object or have a terribly pinched wallet, you are still welcome to come, but please let me know.) Opera-or-Chinoiserie-related themes encouraged, but random, store-bought lameness fine too:
A – F: savory dish, finger food, or substantial snack
G – M: salad
N – S: beverages…chinese tea anyone?
T – Z: dessert
All (good/festive/opera-related ideas) welcome! I plan to shoot a Wenarto-inspired video shoot, involving those who are interested. If you have any operatic accessories (particularly Chinese), please bring/wear them to spice up our video.
My iPod will be chock full of apropos selections, but feel free to bring yours as well, if you're compelled. Again, orientalism encouraged (given our setting).
If we find a bevy of pigeons or a rival encampment has already inhabited the pagoda, we'll be forced to shift our location, so it's best if you RSVP beforehand, so I can give you my cell phone number, in case we should need to move.
Until then!
Our Pink Martini Music Video Won 4th Place!
Our prizes?
Two guest list tickets for an upcoming Pink Martini show, as well as some "other gifts" (possibly P.M. schwag?!). We're contemplating one of the Hollywood Bowl Pink Martini shows in September. But, it's tempting to save up for a European concert locale.
What people are saying
Pink Martini's Business Manager shared this:
"We've been consistently amused by your video since its submission. In fact, it was the first video we received that we really loved, and at that time, unsure how the contest would go, we were relieved to know we had at least one gem. By far the best of the "home video" type entries we received.
We'd love to…post it permanently on our YouTube channel and on our website, and use it at other venues too. Thanks again for your video, and thank your fabulous cast for us as well!"
The creation of the video was a joy, but the contest announcements have brought it all to life again!
See their facebook page for fan's comments on our video and to follow the remaining contest, and click "Like" to keep up-to-date on their concerts and activities.
The Final "Cut": Music Video Contest Entry
I now present to you my entry for La Cieca's (parterre.com) light-hearted lip dub video competition:
Although a winner hasn't been announced, happily, my entry was featured today on parterre.com: Darkest Before the Dawn
[UPDATE: I won! My video received the winning prize worth $200.00, and cries of "Bravissimo!," "genius," "brilliant," "poignant" and "hilarious." Woo-hoo!]
The song is opera diva Renée Fleming's recent crossover single "Endlessly" (originally by Muse). It was GOBS of fun to create…a tragic tranny mess? Visionary? You be the judge, but it's nothing if not fun. Plus, I didn't know I was a blonde (the look chosen to APPROXIMATE the album cover)…the results proved me SO wrong.
For non-opera aficionados, the paper dolls are of Peter Gelb (he runs the Metropolitan Opera), Barbara Walters (operagoer), Mary Zimmerman (director), James Levine (music director and conductor at the Met), and La Cieca! (Yes, the inside jokes abound.)
I invite you to share comments directly below the video at vimeo.com link provided above! Praise me, roast me, sex me up, and so on!
Here's the official collectible album cover:
"Ohayoo Ohio" Music Video Contest Entry
Eleven months ago CJ and I launched the plans for my 40th Birthday celebration at the stylish, Mid-Century resort: The Century Palm Springs. Taking our favorite band's festive inspiration, and our plans to imbibe cocktails aplenty, we named the weekend "Pink Martini-Land!"
Fast forwarding to one week before our departure, CJ made the very happy discovery on facebook of the Pink Martini music video contest. When I saw that "Ohayoo Ohio" ("Hello Ohio") was one of the options, it was clearly kismet (I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio). The stars had aligned, and we heeded their creative calling!
We hope you have even half as much fun as we did creating it! And now, we cross our fingers and hope that the judges get swept up into our world of muumuu runway shows, gleeful synchronized swimming, swingin' faux percussion, "Mrs. Groper" (CJ as a baked Mrs. Roper-type) and more!
My 40th Bday in Palm Springs: Pink Martini-Land!
My head is still a bit in the clouds, after an unforgettable 40th birthday celebration in Palm Springs, entitled "Pink Martini-Land!". It was our second time at The Century resort, and I already can't wait to go back. My friends made it so very special, *sigh*!

Part surf adventure, part travel log. On the one hand you see some rather epic moments, however, the movie falls back into the grind of travel a bit too often. Too many shots of Rasta yawning and Craig Anderson sleeping, like a surfing reality show more than a fantasy, or film with a real message. This time tomorrow has it's moments, but lacks any in the water photography and settles for angles from the beach, parking lot, or boat. Perhaps they could have focused more on the local people and told their stories. Maybe some comedy? Remember when surf movies had it all?! Personally I felt it was missing something. Oh well, tomorrow's another day!

OluKai Makes Donation to Help Victims of Hurricane Sandy
We've always been very pleased to carry OluKai Sandals in our stores. They make a durable, comfortable product that always leaves our customers satisfied. We also greatly respect and love their commitment to giving back. This holiday season Olukai has partnered up with Project Save Our Surf and the New York Surfrider Chapter to help with the Hurricane Sandy relief. They donated $85,000 worth of shoes to victims and also helped with financial support.
From OluKai:
"Everyone at OluKai has been deeply moved by the aftermath of Sandy," said Cara Hockersmith, OluKai Project Lead for Sandy Relief Efforts. "We are grateful to be able to take local action with our partners Project Save Our Surf and New York Surfrider."
OluKai's giveback philosophy is a deep part of the brand's DNA and marked by a continual commitment to partnering with organizations actively pursuing Mauka- and Makai-initiatives (protecting the land and ocean). Additionally, OluKai has built a legacy of support with meaningful events such as their annual Giveback Day, during which the company closes its doors and joins a local cause – such as Project Save Our Surf and Inside The Outdoors for wetlands and ocean conservation and StandUp for Kids to raise awareness and supplies for homeless and street kids in Orange County, CA."
Support a wonderful company with a great mission this holiday season by giving a quality pair of footwear from Olukai.
The Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket
On the Oregon coast we are not known for our sunny days. It rains the majority of the year. Oregonians are used to this. A tell tale sign of a tourist is someone with an umbrella. Rain gear most of the time consists of a hooded sweatshirt, which when going about one's daily routine suffices just splendidly! Another staple of Oregon culture is our affection for outdoor activity. With beautiful natural playgrounds like The Gorge, Bend, Mt. Hood, and of course our Pacific Coast line it's hard to let the constant threat of rain stop you from partaking in hiking, fishing, kayaking, and all the other things we Oregonians enjoy so much! I don't know if you have ever gone hiking in a hooded sweatshirt, but I have and even I, a native Oregonian (webbed toes and all) have decided a rain coat is very much a necessity. When shopping for a rain coat I came across the Patagonia Torrentshell Jacket. It was suggested to me by many of my coworkers, and I see people wearing it everywhere. I was already interested because I know Patagonia is a very environmentally conscious company, so I went for it and bought a Torrentshell. I have never worn a jacket so much, I love it! It keeps me dry without being bulky and obtrusive, and it has a flattering cut. My favorite part is a built in pocket that you can shove the whole coat into and pack it easily (it's the little things). So if you live in a rainy environment, and are too stubborn to let it keep you indoors I highly suggest you get a Torrentshell Jacket.
Minds In The Water: Surf Film Review
Pro Surfer. Make that Pro "Free" Surfer. Dave Rastovich lives the dream. It's easy to be envious. Here's a guy who seems to have it all. For some, that would be enough, so it's wonderful to see him giving back by helping us realize, as surfers, just how blessed we are to be close to nature and how important it is for us to look after, not destroy the ocean and its creatures. Dolphins, whales, and sharks are being systematically killed by the thousands each year by selfish irresponsible people who seem to have a total disregard for the impact they are ironically placing on their own well-being and the well-being of future generations.
Minds in the Water does have great surfing, but with a more meaningful message. One man can make a difference if he has the strength to move others. Good on ya "Rasta".

Today's March for Peace in Skopje has overwhelming support, evident through the positive uproar in social media. Lone voices, however, warn the initiative is used as a PR opportunity by celebrities, and even as a hypocritical alibi for known hatemongers.
Several videos in which a 'Band Aid' cast of local celebrities proclaim they are for a peaceful life together were published by the YouTube user ZaednoZaMir (Together for Peace). They received overwhelmingly positive response by social media users.
On the other hand, Jovana Tozija asked [mk]: "Pardonne moi, sleazeballs, where were you when we asked you to record a video…" as part of the protests against police brutality. She wrote [mk] she was not trying to undermine the March for Peace Initiative, but what she did mind [mk] was that people who did not have the decency to respond by declining were now jousting to get in front of the camera.
Seasoned blogger and human rights activist Zarko Trajanoski wrote [mk] that he would not attend the March for Peace, even though many of his closest friends would:
The reason is: I cannot stand the hypocrisy any more!
At first glance, the statement by the march organizers is enchanting: "We unite Gandhi-style, with the power of pacifism." With curiousity, I see the famous faces, trying to recognize the Macedonian Gandhi who will unite us in nonviolent resistance to tyranny. I watch the TV screen intently, in vain searching for the Macedonian Gandhi. Instead, the director of 'Ednooki', Alek Rusjakov, appears on Sitel TV and says: "This movement is not against anyone. It is not against the government, not against the opposition, not against a race, not against a nation, but for peace."
"Ednooki" [The One-Eyed] is an animated TV show aired on TV stations owned by the coalition partners of the current government (first Kanal 5, currently SITEL; before it run on A1 while it was pro-government). The show usually includes statements demonizing the opposition, the dissenters from the NGO sector, and foreign diplomats. The show also caricatures key government figures in a positive, mild-mannered light. The same team also produces an "educational" TV series about the Ancient Macedon for the state TV. One of their "historical" claims is that homosexuality was not practiced by Ancient Macedonians, just by the Greeks.
Trajanoski continued:
Wait a minute. Freeze frame. The director of "Ednooki" as an initiator of peace march? Suddenly, we have to forget that "Ednooki" is a hate-mongering series that incites hate against all who criticize the work of the government?
We have to forget that "Ednooki" promotes ethnic and other kinds of stereotypes and prejudices that create an atmosphere of hate and violence? The last time I watched "Ednooki" the A1 TV journalists were portrayed as violators and criminals, while the special police forces which occupied the TV-station were presented as victims of violence. And at least several people have told me that in the "art" work by Rusjakov, the character representing me has been shown as being shot by gun.Personal is political. I cannot "march" for peace together with the hate-propagandist Alek Rusjakov. Would the victims of Nazi propaganda join Goebbels if he called for a march for peace between the members of the pure Aryan race and the "degenerics"? Would you join [Latas] if he invited you to march for peace between the "lice," "cunts," "savages," and Macedonians? Would you join Milenko if he called for march for peace between the "guardian" Macedonians and the "treacherous bastards"? Would you join Janko "Jadi Burek" if he called for peace between the believers and the "bunch of gays and atheists" who were [forcefully dislocated from the square]?
Please, I am sick of hypocrisy. I won't march for peace together with hatemongers. I will peacefully protest against the haters – the propagandists of the regime which amnesties war criminals and tortures political prisoners who get 109 years in jail.
Anonymous readers commenting on Trajanoski's post said they would go to the march even though they agreed with some of his arguments. One of them provided a link to an interview [mk] by Rusjakov in which he claims that members of NGOs who disagree with the government's decisions ("Sorosids") are traitors on the Greek chauvinist payroll who enjoy being sodomized by the Greeks while working on changing the Macedonian identity.
Some pointed out that the protests against police brutality had been joined by some opposition figures, and they still attended even though they were not supporters of those political parties.

CT scanner proving effort worth it in Nelson
Andrea Purcell has seen the benefit that comes with having a CT scanner at Kootenay Lake Hospital. The Bonnington mother says the diagnostic imaging equipment saved her daughter's life.
It's been a year since a massive community fundraising effort culminated in the hospital purchasing the $1.3 million piece of equipment used to take two-dimensional images of the body's interior.
More than 2,000 patients accessed Nelson's CT Scanner last year, among them was three-year-old Paige Purcell who had been sick for a number of months and, in early September, started getting headache spells and vomiting.
The Purcells' doctor ordered an emergency CT scan for the little girl, and two days later Paige became the youngest patient to get a CT scan at KLH.
Andrea watched from behind a barricade as her baby, who had been sedated for the procedure, was placed on the bed of the CT scanner and images were taken of inside the girl's head.
The test revealed a massive tumour growing on her cerebellum, pushing on her brain stem. The doctors explained the situation to Andrea and her husband, but in her shock she didn't hear much of what was said.
"I heard them say, there's something there and that's all I heard," Andrea said.
Arrangements were made to have mother and daughter on a flight to Vancouver the next day, where doctors at BC Children's Hospital would successfully remove the tumour.
"My daughter is going to have a normal, functioning healthy life, and will likely live and have no issues," Purcell said, noting that early detection was key to this successful outcome.
"There's no doubt in my mind her life was saved because we were able to get that CT scan," Purcell said.
Currently there are only enough technicians at Kootenay Lake Hospital to run the CT scanner Monday to Friday during daytime hours. Though there's no doubt having it available 24/7 would increase its benefit to our community, Interior Health has had difficulty recruiting more technicians.
According to Zeno Cescon, Interior Health's regional director of diagnostic imaging services based in Kelowna, the budget is in place to pay technicians for emergency on-call service for evenings and weekends.
"We have the budget and we're ready to go with it, but it's still a staffing issue," Cescon explained, noting there's a shortage of technologists across all of Interior Health, not just in Nelson, which is attributed to the general shortage of skilled labour in the province.
Cescon couldn't speculate when the hospital would be able to recruit the additional technicians. There would need to be at least three, preferably four, people trained to run the CT scanner to share the responsibility for on-call service. Currently the hospital only has two.
But Cescon said even just having the the machine available during daytime hours has brought wait times down dramatically for people getting elective (non-emergency) CT scans in the area.
In 2005, when Interior Health began investigating the idea of having a CT scanner at Kootenay Lake Hospital wait times were more than 20 weeks. Now they're down to an average of five weeks wait, and emergency cases are dealt with much faster.
For comparison, at Kelowna General Hospital, the wait time for an elective CT scan is nine weeks.
As well, Cescon said antidotally it seems a higher proportion of the local population is accessing CT scans since the technology became available at the local hospital. In other words, the previous inconvenience of going out of town for a CT scan was deterring people from getting them.
"We know it's been a tremendous benefit to the community in its first year of use," Cescon said. "The technicians at Kootenay Lake Hospital are doing a great job providing the service."
Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation recently received an update from Interior Heath on current CT scanner usage and progress towards making it a 24/7 service.
Hospital Foundation chair Pat Dooley, who herself has received CT scans at KLH in the past year, said the board of directors had really come to appreciate how important purchasing the equipment was.
"We're really pleased our community stepped up to the plate to get it for our hospital and we're getting more and more examples of how important it is," Dooley said.
She was familiar with the Purcells' story and many others like it, and believes it's too valuable a piece of equipment to have sitting idle evenings and weekends.
"It needs to be available 24/7, to deal with emergency situations that happen in the evening," Dooley said. "I'm confident Interior Health is working to achieve that goal and hopefully will get there over the course of the next year."

Sunday update: (cause blogger wont let me use the title)
Gee, it's been a few days. Well, Friday mama wented on some errands and wented to a diabetes clinic. They gave her a big change in her insulin, and it is really working! Saturday was VERY HOT, almost 100 degrees, so she left me in front of the fans and went to the coffee shop (they have a cool air blowy thing) and then went to the community center where it was cool, too. When she camed home she was hot again, and even her face was red and hot looking! But she had some ice tea and sat in front of the fan and was okay. Today we had some VERY scary thunderboomies. I mean they shook the building and rattled the windows! But I thought of my sweetie and I was okay.
The next couple of days there will be scary people here, fixing stuff, so I might not be on line. But by Wednesday they are supposed to be done. I might just have to hide somewhere until then!
Love to all, kisses for my sweetie, Mr. Hendrix,

If you have someplace safe, hiding is definitely our suggestion. If you get scared, who knows where you might run to.

Max's Kansas City is famous for hosting acts like the Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, Television, Suicide, and the whole downtown punk scene of the mid-1970s, but it also was the venue for an early gig by Bad Brains, the legends of DC hardcore. The original location of Max's Kansas City on Park Avenue South and 18th St. closed in 1981. It's said that Bad Brains and the Beastie Boys played the final gig at that location, but the evidence is mixed: this exhaustive page on the venue states that that lineup was scheduled but cancelled.
Bad Brains were there two years earlier, however, and fortunately for us the gig was exhaustively documented. The date for the show is commonly listed as February 1979, but that's not correct. The date of the show was Sunday, December 16, 1979, a fact that is corroborated by two pieces of information, the poster above and the comment by H.R. during the show that it was drummer Earl Hudson's birthday that day. (Also H.R.'s younger brother, Hudson turned 22 in 1979.)
Bad Brains opened for The Mad, an interesting band fronted by a native of Osaka, Japan, who used the name Screaming Mad George. The Mad only put out a couple of singles at the time, but there retrospective CDs were released later on. Screaming Mad George did the poster for the gig. He also transitioned out of punk music into special effects for Hollywood movies, working on such 1980s classics as Big Trouble in Little China, Predator, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.

Random Outcry as Young Boy Sneezes On David Cameron
Where man always bites dog |

16 April 2008
SUSSEX, England -- There has been huge public uproar today in the south of England, when a youth sneezed over political leader David Cameron. Mr. Cameron was being interviewed when the incident happened, and is rumoured to be deeply distressed and angered. "It always happens to me!" he cried out in rage, shortly before being taken back to his flat by police. "People always bully us politicians when they're upset! I can't take this anymore!"
The youth in question was mobbed by avid Conservatives, before being arrested by the police. He was then given an ASBO by police for his fantastic achievement appalling behaviour. He is currently applying for a new identity and cosmetic surgery, so rabid Tories won't attack him whenever he ventures outside.
"I didn't mean to!" he told police, "I just needed to sneeze and he was in my way! And now, for the rest of my life, I'm going to have to live with the stigma of being the guy who sneezed all over David Cameron. It ain't fair, dudes. It was an accident!"
There have been rumours that the whole thing was in fact set up by the Conservatives, in order to get attention, sympathy and more votes in the next election.
