Now initially you might think you don't need or even want to know about
butyrate (ˈbjuːtɪˌreɪt) noun,
any salt or ester of butyric acid, containing the monovalent group C3H7COO- or ion C3H7COO–, and when you then bumped into this, having first found out it is in butter, you might well panic:

But then you would realize that lately it has had a great rise in reputation and helps maintain your biodome and aids in the production of key neurotransmitters that help both our gut and our brains to work. Apparently we make it when bacteria in our bellies ferment high fibre carbohydrates, but it is also, and here is the punchline, found in butter! The highest food source for it. I am relieved, and think I will just butter up everything!
At least these verbose scientist think so:

And what the frickinfrack is a coke-tato?
Anticipating Chapter 12
Ah, coke-potato needed a hot potato reference … I will meddle with that, and didn’t really like it.
As to the moon, that was a good video, even if the announcer sounded ridiculously patronizing, and when we drove home late from the cottage last night we literally marvelled at the full moon and talked about whether it good really be “moon illusion”. But no! How cool.. I will definitely put Aug 10 on the calendar.
Shit, I was thinkin’ she was gonna eat some kinda damn tater with her damn tea.

I haven’t listened all the way through, but what a nice venue. The first song of the second video is so sad, like so much music, at least in the lyrics … reminds me of this Phil Manzanera song:
Mikey weighed 801 grams when he was born,and the fact the 801 Live was one of our favourite albums was a little hard to ignore!
Barry Ritholtz’ tweets of the week. Friggin hilarious and deeply spot on as well.

I’m heading out for a walk around the block. What are you doing to make yourself stronger today?
I will make myself stronger by buying a new smart tv.

From Barron’s:
Up and Down Wall Street
Stuck in Funky Town
Stagnant incomes lead to stagnant spending, and the stock market’s gains help only the better-off. Trouble in Europe.

“All this exuberance, which any dispassionate observer would deem irrational, seems utterly at odds with the mood of consumers, who are in a “funk.” That’s the assessment of Kip Tindell, the chief executive of Container Store (TCS), in explaining the chain’s drop in comparable-store sales and the lowering of its revenue and earnings estimates for the current fiscal year. “Now we’ve come to realize it’s more than just weather and the calendar,” he said, instead blaming consumers’ mood (which has nothing to do with George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic).
Tindell’s plaint would seem like the next step after using retailers’ “the dog ate my homework” excuse of the weather, especially given that the chain doesn’t seem to offer much that can’t be found at any number of home-goods peddlers. Still, the stock took an 8.4% hit following his comments.”
How could you not get this from that?
Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay
Yeah, I saw some article about “The Container Store” somewhere this week. Too lazy to look it up again now, but the gist of it was “Company stops blaming the weather, and starts blaming their customers”. Yup, real long term future for that company, yupper..
In a completely unrelated front, GO GERMANY today against Argentina. Besides the fact that I’m mostly German, which would be enough all by itself, I’d gladly take some REAL Germans over some bunch of Nazi expats any day.
Yes, that tune has been demonized, and I don’t care.
The composer lived and died long before any of that Nazi crap. Somehow, every country in the world is allowed to have pride in their country these days, EXCEPT the Germans. That is still pretty much Verboten, even among Germans, but I’m not having it.
Might run to the store to get some German beer for the game.
Good thing I already took my walk today… ;D
We, including our German dog, are ready. Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest is the beer of the day.
Our other German dog is saving his strength for the second half. That’s his story and he’s sticking to it.
Since neither Switzerland nor Australia is playing, Mouse, being a Bernese Mountain Dog/Aussie is having a nap on the porch.
Well, as they seem to ALWAYS say in soccer, “nil-nil” at the half. There in a nutshell is why Americans will never get very interested in soccer.
How do you get a German boy to dig a little deeper? Get a pretty German girl to sing the song….
oooh, flash update…nil nil. (surprise, surprise)
Such drama…
good thing I got that beer…
BOOM! One, nil, eight mins to go!
Woo hoooooo!~
Time to eat…
