The French palate was not very refined at that time; despite the royal rejection, however, the Russians and Persians were the first to commercialise caviar all over the world. Back in the 16th century, it was even being eaten in the United States, although, oddly, by the poorer classes.
It is because of the sturgeon that only a minority these days can enjoy this delicacy. The fish looks ugly, tastes worse, and produces what are the golden eggs of contemporary gastronomy. Of the 24 species of sturgeon that exist in the world, five live in the Caspian Sea, but only four produce edible caviar (the most famous is the Beluga sturgeon). The extraction process is highly delicate. It is important not to kill the sturgeon, because once it is dead, the fish produces a bitter substance which ruins the flavour of the caviar. To avoid this, a blow behind the head puts the fish to sleep, and within ten minutes, the eggs are extracted and tinned.
Russia and Iran are currently the world’s main producers of wild caviar. However, abuses in the capture of the species and illegal trade mean that wild sturgeon are now almost extinct.
Swimming pool caviar
Sturgeons bred in captivity have become a practical alternative in many European countries. France is the world’s biggest producer of farmed caviar, especially in the Gironde region, which, through over-exploitation, has lost the wild sturgeon which were originally to be found there. Other countries such as Spain, Sweden, Uruguay and the United States are trying to break into this one market which does not seem to have been affected by the recession. The current price in Europe for farmed caviar is about 1.443 euros (£1.22) per kilogramme, compared to 2.103 euros (£1.78) for Iranian Beluga.
However, even the poor can have access to caviar sometimes. Germany was the most socialist of them all when it began to sell what became known as ‘German caviar’ or ‘red caviar’ at accessible prices, although it is produced in Iceland, Norway or Denmark rather than in Germany, and has a slightly more salty taste than caviar.
However, for examples of fake caviar, we need to come back to France. In Russia, the word for purée is ‘икра’ (‘ikra’ – which means caviar). Euphemistically, the French call courgette or aubergine purée ‘caviar’, leading to linguistic confusion – no doubt the fault of some heir to Louis XV’s palate.

Since Mondays are canceled this year, due to The Down Economy, they are adding more races to Fridays. Hence the hour earlier post time.
So instead of 4 to 7 it goes from 3 to 7. (If it were up to me, I would have made it 4 to 8. I would also make prostitution legal, gambling legal everywhere, Cigarette smoking legal, Ecstasy legal, Models everywhere and have drinking 24hours, but maybe that just me.)
It is a pleasant change to have something change for the better.
All in all, not bad as it give you another hour to swoop more girls.
Countdown to first post: 41 days, 1:36, 42 seconds.
The Rest is Up to You…

When a woman tries to get your attention, take a second longer to swivel your head to reply. The goal is to introduce a palpable, but not off-putting, tension to the interaction. In other words, make her sweat.
Keep your head cocked upward slightly. This will accentuate the heaviness of your brow ridge and the heft of your chin and jaw, both indicators of alpha testosterone levels. It also imparts you with a haughtiness that women find irresistible.
Scratch your balls in public once in a while.
If you say something stupid, goofy or impolite (hey, it happens) don’t backpedal or get flustered. Act as if nothing is wrong. Embarrassment is for the little people.
Rudely glance around the room every so often when a girl is talking to you.
Be inattentive. Betas focus like a laser beam when engaging a girl because she is the reason for his existence. Alphas exist for themselves.
Be narcissistic. There is no greater divergence than that between a woman’s stated disapproval of male narcissism and the rapidity with which she jumps into bed with a male narcissist.
Keep a toothpick in your mouth if you don’t smoke.
Be judgmental. Say “Hm” and “I see” a lot when a woman talks to you, arching your eyebrows and frowning skeptically.
If a girl says something genuinely funny (rare, like a lunar eclipse), don’t boisterously laugh in appreciation. Snicker instead.
Be territorial. Spread those arms and legs out.
Learn to love the pregnant pause. When a girl shit tests you, don’t respond like a wind-up beta. Give her a blank, serial killer stare and wait… wait……. waiiiiit for it…. ANSWER! Wow, that was hot. I’m positive I just made a female reader squirm delightfully in her seat.
If you don’t have a witty answer ready for deployment, silence beats stilted conversation.
Lead with your crotch.
Don’t ever fall for the “tap on the shoulder” or the “something on your tie” gags.
Be imperious. The world is your harem.
Finally… use the power of your back. Turning your back on people who have displeased you is a great way to get them to qualify themselves. Girls will reopen. Guys will vamoose.
I was really impressed that Roissy added “Keep a toothpick in your mouth if you don’t smoke.”
This is a great non-smoker guy move.
Another option?
In a non-smoking restaurant, use a cocktail straw or stir.
You always want to draw a girls attention to your mouth.
That is why smoking is so effective.

90th minute plus … Barcelona has exposed the long accepted soccer and sports bromide that defense wins championships. With a hobble defense, the Spanish champions weathered United’s early onslaught and fought back with style. Dominant midfielder play led by Xavi and Iniesta. A truly deserved championship for the Blaugrana.
90th minute plus … Rodriguez for Iniesta.
87th minute … Berbatov header sails over the goal.
85th minute … Puyol takes a pass from Xavi and nearly makes it 3-0.
84th minute … Barca in complete and utter control. United players walking, stunned.
75th minute … Last gasp for United, Scholes replaces Giggs. Probably too little, too late.
70th minute … Absolute DAGGER. Xavi finds Messi at the far post, and the Argentine flash scores an goal on an unlikely header. Barcelona, 2-0.
67th minute … Berbatov replaces a frustrated Park.
60th minute … Nothing but frustration for United. Ronaldo offside, errant passes, nothing clicking. But still a long way to go.
52nd minute … Iniesta fouled at top of United penalty are. Xavi beats van der Sar, but shot slams off the near post.
49th minute … Barcelaon pouring forward, with control and confidence. But without scoring so far, which could be deadly.
47th minute … Xavi springs Henry down the left, one on one with Ferdinand. Fakes the big defender off his feet, but shot is saved by van der Sar. Could have been a dagger.
46th minute … Tevez replaces the ineffective Anderson.
Halftime … The type of match where you look up at the running clock and are amazed that 40-45 have passed. Sheer entertainment, regardless of which team you’re supporting. If you’re reading this the real question is: Why aren’t you watching the match?
If you’re Sir Alex, who comes off and who goes on for the second half? If you’re Guardiola, do you make any changes?
45th minute … Messi takes a throw-in on the near side and just motors 40 years with the ball seemingly attached to his left foot for a shot that van der Sar can’t gain control of. Cleared by United defense.
43rd minute … Rooney looking increasingly frustrated out on the left, seeing little of the ball. While Iniesta and Xavi bob and weave at will in the midfield.
39th minute … As hobbled as Barca’s defense is with the absence of Marquez, Abidal, et al, United’s skill players are getting little space to turn and run. And Sylvinho is holding his own.
33rd minute … Barca captain Puyol blankets Rooney, and United’s Park has not yet imposed himself on the game; while for Barca, Henry seems lost on the left flank.
27th minute … If Messi was quick enough, the little Argentine is replendent in his new electric-blue Adidas Tunit F50i shoes. Like some many players today, they’re going with the day-glo colors on their flippers. Break out the sunglasses!
25th minute … Can we stop the clock or put it in someone’s pocket? This is end to end stuff. The game at its pinnacle. Play all night!
24th minute … Anderson jostles Iniesta, Barca’s engine about 25-28 yards from goal on the near side. Xavi’s curling free kick sails wide.
23rd minute … Eto’o’s goal seems to have settled Barcelona and renewed its confidence. United’s early ball possession game seems a thing of the past. … For now.
20th minute … Valdés wipes out Park on a sprint to the edge of the area to clear.
17th minute … Ronaldo makes a fool of Pique and forces the Barcelona defender into an obstruction 25 yeards out. Pique also takes a yellow card from Referee Massimo Busacca, but free kick sails high.
10th minute … Barca’s first offensive foray led by Iniesta, who carries 10-15 yards and leads Eto’s into the United area. The Cameroonian international cuts around Vidic and slips the ball past van der Sar. Talk about counters. So much of United’s early dominance. Barcelona 1-0
9th minute … United buildup on left springs Ronaldo for left-footed shot pushed wide of goal.
7th minute … Ronaldo, who has had so much success from long range recently, unloads from about 30 years. And why not? With Valdés showing signs of the yipes.
5th minute … Pressure is all from United.
1st minute … Anderson nutmegs Toure, Ronaldo’s low free kick is coughed up by Valdés, Park misses rebound and it goes for a Manchester United corner. Valdés looks shaky early.
Underway at 2.45 and Valdés immediately flubs a clearing pass over the touchline.
Minutes before kickoff … Manchester United in all white; Barcelona is blue-and-red striped jerseys.

Just downloaded this album by Hiroshi Fukumura, cool sample - guess it’s already well known, but it surprised me.
OC - The Chosen One
White Clouds - Hiroshi Fukumura
OC - The Chosen One lyrics
I’m coming from an Egyptian Mola story, rarely told
Back in the mix of things to break the mold Good as gold mind ya leave negative thoughts behind ya
Type of how I’m living be more potency than ganja
Oh Period; when you see my face I’m serious Move with the mystique of a cheetah, mysterious Dominate jungles when I walk the floor rumbles
The baddest motherfuckers - I make their attitudes humble
My aura shine bright like sunlight, in Fahrenheit temperature
Stylee’s, you file these
Most is type of scriptures, follow me is for reference
Other MC’s make no kind of sense
Oh freeze foes and bleed souls and leave those stunned
Descended on the planet, you’re in confusion
Pick ten, subtract five then, subtract four
Watch the Sun leave a shadow on the man that’s raw
I be
Chorus:
The Chosen One, beyond the Moet and the Cristal The Son of a King and a Queen, I’m a gifted child
All bow to me like the image of God, Supreme Being
Get you to the eyes worth seeing
Check out the rick ross album on youtube. Production is pretty nice throughout. Hooks are trashy autotune mostly though.
Rick Ross - Magnificent Ft. John Legend
cool special ed interpolation, flips same angela bofill as this prodigy:
prodigy of mobb deep - You Can Never Feel My Pain - H.N.I.C.
OG track the sample comes from:
Angela Bofill-”Gotta Make It Up To You”
I kind of feel bad Rick Ross got exposed so hard because it sounds like he’s trying to make good music. Oh well, he won’t have the $$ for this kind of production ever again.
The more i think about it, this is like song of the year so far (in the weakest hip-hop year ever).

At any given Cipriani benefit ball, midtown, soho, downtown, I perform like Michael, MPM, Tyson, Jordan, or Jackson. Suited down, pocket squared, no mobb boss but I’ve been performing hits since I stepped on the scene. Long Vol, Short Vol, you can try to understand the Greeks but I bet you are still beta. They say Kanye ‘you keeps it too real boy’.
Like stone crab claws at Lure Fish Bar on Prince Street. I’m dishing at chicks like the point guard on your favorite team. Late night at White Star on Essex on the DL. Like new cash bond issuance in the credit markets, high grade priced 8 Bill, it was all good just a week ago. High Yields on the rise, the bifurcation was so February. I’m trading single B’s off the break like E tabs at a rave. If you’re long credit, watch the DIP or you’ll get crammed down harder than secured lenders in Chrysler by Uncle Sam. Pimp Cadillac population excluded.
I’ve respected the game since my first dice roll Timberland booted down. Summertime is around the corner. Gucci loafers, no socks, Eric Ripert dinners. Girls at Da Silvano. Bisteca next door. I’m fam at the Waverly. For the futures market non fluent, trade the VXX as hedge. Thank me later. Euro dollar futures. Spooz futures. Treasury futures. Curves steep now. Its cross asset class but same school.
Stocks at 1, you can’t short it that much more. I see your 100 shares front running me. Monaco. Marbella. Mauritius. Go long the Kiwi and AUD when inflation hits and it will. The funeral of CDO. RIP Equity tranche 2006. Synthetic CDO was an infant death. The rebirth of cash. The ailing of CDS. Non-Financial Hybrids pricing in 21% at call but then again capital structure arb wasn’t you. I forgive your weak ass, hustling just ain’t you. I’m still seen at Masa.
