First it was Jake's, now it is Lucy's

On the light side of things, we discovered Jake's Restaurant and Bar, Flemington, NJ many years ago.  The bar is busy and a local meeting place, but to our surprise the dining room has white table cloths and the most friendly staff serving up good/good food from a surprising menu, (sometimes even verging on great). The service is better than you might expect from a local watering hole. We love JAKE"S and so do a  group of antique dealers traveling to and fro. You never know who you may see there. jakes-restaurant--bar.eggzack.com

Now in our present special travels, we have found Lucy's Ravioli Kitchen & Market, Princeton,NJ.   www.lucysravioli.com. Not a restaurant, but they do have a few tables and stand-up counter. On the run, don't want to cook tonight and you are in the Princeton area, head for Lucy's

Paul Greengard does it again and again and again.

The following article appears in the New York Times, September 2, 2010
This was of special interest to us and we share good news with you.

Finding Suggests New Aim for Alzheimer’s Drugs

In a year when news about Alzheimer’s disease seems to whipsaw between encouraging and disheartening, a new discovery by an 84-year-old scientist has illuminated a new direction.
The scientist, Paul Greengard, who was awarded a Nobel Prize in 2000 for his work on signaling in brain cells, still works in his Rockefeller University lab in New York City seven days a week, walking there from his apartment two blocks away, taking his aging Bernese mountain dog, Alpha.
He got interested in Alzheimer’s about 25 years ago when his wife’s father developed it, and his research is now supported by a philanthropic foundation that was started solely to allow him to study the disease.
It was mostly these funds and federal government grants that allowed him to find a new protein that is needed to make beta amyloid, which makes up the telltale plaque that builds up in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s.
The finding, to be published Thursday in the journal Nature, reveals a new potential drug target that, according to the prevailing hypothesis of the genesis of Alzheimer’s, could slow or halt the devastating effects of this now untreatable disease.
The work involves laboratory experiments and studies with mice — it is far from ready for the doctor’s office. But researchers, still reeling from the announcement two weeks ago by Eli Lilly that its experimental drug turned out to make Alzheimer’s worse, not better, were encouraged.
“This really is a new approach,” said Dr. Paul Aisen, of the University of California, San Diego. “The work is very strong and it is very convincing.” Dr. Aisen directs a program financed by the National Institute on Aging to conduct clinical trials of treatments for Alzheimer’s disease.
Over the past few years, research on Alzheimer’s has exploded. Now, Dr. Aisen said, there are about 200 papers on the subject published each week. There are new scans and other tests, like spinal taps, to find signs of the disease early, enabling researchers to think of testing drugs before patients’ brains are so ravaged. And companies are testing about 100 experimental drugs that, they hope, will fundamentally alter the course of Alzheimer’s disease.
Most of the new drugs target an enzyme, gamma secretase, that snips a big protein to produce beta amyloid. The problem in Alzheimer’s is thought to be an overproduction of beta amyloid — the protein is made in healthy brains but, it is thought, in smaller quantities. Its normal role is not certain, but researchers recently found that beta amyloid can kill microbes, indicating it might help fight infections.
But gamma secretase has crucial roles in the body in addition to making beta amyloid. It removes stubs of proteins left behind on the surface of nerve cells and it also is needed to make other proteins, so completely blocking it would be problematic. Many scientists think that was what went wrong with the Eli Lilly drug, which, researchers say, took a sledgehammer to gamma secretase, stopping all of its functions. Other companies say their experimental drugs are more subtle and targeted, but they may still affect the enzyme’s other targets.
Dr. Greengard found, though, that before gamma secretase can even get started, the protein he discovered, which he calls gamma secretase activating protein, must tell the enzyme to make beta amyloid. And since that newly discovered protein is used by the enzyme only for beta amyloid production, blocking it has no effect on the other gamma secretase activities.
It turns out that the cancer drug Gleevec, already on the market to treat some types of leukemia and a rare cancer of the digestive system, blocks that newly found protein. As a consequence, it blocks production of beta amyloid. But Gleevec cannot be used to treat Alzheimer’s because it is pumped out of the brain as fast as it comes in. Nonetheless, researchers say, it should be possible to find Gleevec-like drugs that stay in the brain.
“You could use Gleevec as a starting molecule,” said Rudolph Tanzi, a neurology professor and Alzheimer’s researcher at Harvard Medical School. “You could change the structure a little bit and try analogs until you get one that does what Gleevec does and does not get kicked out of the brain. That’s possible.”
On a clear, cool summer day last week, Dr. Greengard told the story of his discovery. He sat in a brown chair in his office on the ninth floor of an old stone building on the meticulously landscaped grounds of the university, wearing a soft yellow V-neck sweater and thick-soled black shoes. Alpha lay quietly at his feet.
Dr. Greengard’s assistant ordered lunch — cantaloupe wrapped in prosciutto; ravioli filled with pears, mascarpone and pecorino Romano; cherries; and cookies. But Dr. Greengard, caught up in the tale of his science, asked her to hold off bringing in the food.
“I thought, this is just a horrible disease and maybe there is something I can do about it,” he said.
About a decade ago, Dr. Greengard and his postdoctoral students made their first discovery on the path to finding the new protein — they got a hint that certain types of drugs might block beta amyloid production. So they did an extensive screen of drugs that met their criteria and found that one of them, Gleevec, worked. It completely stopped beta amyloid production.
That was exciting — until Dr. Greengard discovered that Gleevec was pumped out of the brain. Still, he found that if he infused Gleevec directly into the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s genes, beta amyloid went away.
“We spent the next six years or so trying to figure out how Gleevec worked” on gamma secretase, Dr. Greengard said. He knew, though, that he was on to something important.
“I had very little doubt about it,” he said. “If I have an idea, I have faith in it, that it must be right.”
The system he discovered — the gamma secretase activating protein — made sense, Dr. Greengard said.
“Gamma secretase belongs to a family of proteins called proteases,” he explained. Proteases chop proteins into smaller molecules. But often proteases are not very specific. They can attack many different proteins. “Obviously, you can’t have that kind of promiscuity in a cell,” Dr. Greengard said. There has to be some sort of control over which proteins are cleaved, and when.
So, Dr. Greengard said, “what evolved is that proteases invariably have targeting proteins that help them decide which proteins to go after.”
That was what he had found: a targeting protein that sets in motion the activity of gamma secretase, which makes beta amyloid. To further test the discovery, he genetically engineered a strain of mice that had a gene for Alzheimer’s, but he blocked the gene for the gamma secretase activating protein. The animals appeared to be perfectly healthy. And they did not develop plaques in their brains.
For Sangram S. Sisodia, an Alzheimer’s researcher at the University of Chicago, that mouse experiment was critical.
“That was the proof of concept,” he said. It meant that Dr. Greengard was correct — the newly discovered protein, when blocked, does not seem to interfere with other crucial functions of gamma secretase.
“That is good news,” Dr. Sisodia said.
As for Dr. Greengard, he said, “I couldn’t be more excited.”
“I am sure there will be a fervor in the field.”

WILL THE FAT LADY SING ? THAT IS THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.

The show is over. The anxiety of the trip to Nashville and the setup has passed. The shorter show schedule this year leaves us wondering who might have returned on Sunday (as is the custom at this show) to make their purchase. So, We ask will the fat lady sing? Time will tell.
While waiting for the answer we have new challenges. An unwanted but needed truck repair and a new winter storm to travel home with. Neither one is without tension and stress.

So goes the way of this President's day holiday.
The journey continues.

SAVED BY THE WEATHER CHANNEL

THE WEATHER CHANNEL


Saved by TWC. That is it in a nut shell. We were so freaked out about the pending storm warnings and the possibility that our dog sitter would not be able to get to our house and that we would be leaving our Molly dog home alone, that we made a decision (and that’s not easy) to leave NOW

And a good decision at that.

We traveled in rain on the northerly route from Solebury to Nashvillle and only encountered driving rains, heavy winds and a few snowflakes.

If we had waited to leave as originally planned---we would not be able to and would more than likely not be in Nashville

in time for the show.

We are here and hope you will be too, to enjoy Antiques Week in Nashville.

It starts with the preview gala on Wednesday evening and ends on Saturday.

REMEMBER WHEN---WE WILL MISS KEVIN VELLE

We just learned of the sudden death of Kevin Velle, an honorable man. From the archives of my mind I look back at better days...I want to think of all the good and positive memories of people I have known.
Here is a reprint from the New York times of a good week from the past. Life is short.

October 20, 1994
Season Opens For Folk Art
By SUZANNE SLESIN

ON your mark. Get set. Go -- for that sponge-ware pitcher!

The opening today of the 16th annual Fall Antiques Show at the Pier signifies open season for folk art -- all those charming, irresistible objects and artifacts sought after by collectors and ordinary people for whom capturing and living with folk art has become a way of life.

The show, at Pier 92 on the Hudson River at West 55th Street, is one of the bonanzas of American folk art, with merchandise from 1800 through the 1950's presented by 103 of the top dealers in the field from across the country. It is an event where objects with wonderful surfaces, original lively paint and not-to-be-believed patinas -- and sometimes price tags to match -- make many people's hearts race and checkbooks flip open.

By Tuesday, more than 1,500 people had paid $150 each for tickets to last night's preview party, sponsored by Country Living magazine and benefiting the Museum of American Folk Art. The party was also the place for those who wanted first crack at the stuff.

Over the last two decades, folk art has come to include both the six-figure weathervane and flea-market finds. It has leapfrogged from the arena of antiques to that of art, and prices have risen accordingly.

Whether buying or only looking, visitors to this four-day event can take in a range of merchandise -- from quilts to corner cupboards, from shooting-gallery targets to hardware store fittings -- illustrating the vibrant decorative expression that Eileen Dubrow, a dealer from Bayside, Queens, described as "a need to have something more than just a functional object." Mrs. Dubrow was selling an ornate 1858 staghorn and carved wood coat and umbrella stand that had stood for years in her home. "We wanted to bring something new and fresh to the show," she said. It could be in your foyer for $35,000.

Other treasures whose prices reflect their rarity included a pristine 1857 shirred wool rug depicting a lion in a jungle at the Kelter-Malce booth ($20,000); a graceful 1808 early bentwood American chair, from Samuel Herrup Antiques ($4,800), and at the Gemini Antiques booth, a rare mechanical bank depicting three black baseball players ($6,000).

As always, painted furniture -- from blanket chests to side chairs to a five-piece bedroom set of 1880 cottage furniture (at the Judith and James Milne booth, for $12,500) -- is an anchor of the show.

"It wasn't magical until someone put the paint on it," Robert Snyder, a Zieglersville, Pa., dealer, said of a 1920's oak extension table whose legs were painted red, white and blue. The patriotic table was priced at $4,800.

Connie Hayes described her mid-19th century pumpkin-and-rust corner cupboard, selling for $14,600, as having "wild paint." A more sedate blue-green seven-foot apothecary cabinet with 40 drawers, at Nan and David Pirnack's booth, was going for $7,500.

At the show -- running today and Friday from 11 A.M. to 9 P.M., Saturday until 8 P.M. and Sunday until 6 P.M. -- curiosity seekers who pay the $10 admission each day can check out the 1906 "Stamp Man," a two-piece suit covered with canceled 1- and 2-cent stamps, offered by Frank and Barbara Pollack for $2,750. Or Richard and Betty Ann Rasso's beautifully carved record player, crafted by William Plummer, a self-taught artist who died in 1942. How much? It's yours, for $35,000. Whether it can it be converted to play CD's might be the real question.

Huge items, like a forest of 26 painted barbershop poles ($18,000), offered by Harvey Pranian at the Harvey Antiques booth, and a fetching 1925 7-foot-4-inch cement swimmer by George Suchy, at the Walters Benisek Art and Antiques booth ($9,500), were reminders of the spatial constraints that put the brakes on impulse items.

"It's a Saturday night church," J. Kenneth Kohn, a psychiatrist and the owner of With All Due Ceremony, of Elkins Park, Pa., said as he lifted the top off a $4,500 26-by-36-inch model of a church to display the interior, a dance hall decorated for Christmas. "I'm semiretired, so this is therapy," he said of his involvement with folk art.

Dr. Kohn is not alone.
