Tame the email koboldPosted by: | Comments
Do you have a love and hate relationship with email? I love this practical tool and really don't know how I would manage if email disappeared tomorrow. Having an inbox bursting with new messages however gave me a daylight nightmare just about every day.
I set out to tame the email kobold a few weeks ago. Yes, I listened to experts, read the blogs and asked friends to get a potpourri of ideas of what works for others. As I don't believe in mindless copying of methods that work for somebody else, I designed my own system taking the tips that I thought would work for me. Since then it is trial and error.
I set up 4 separate email accounts for different "audiences":
- my business and clients,
- family and friends,
- social media
- and for the newsletters I subscribe to.
In all the 4 email accounts I created folders. All the email I get is automatically sorted into folders by Hotmail. (I made Hotmail my personal VA if you like). This way when I open my account I have a very good overview of what awaits me. Plus I don't have to check all my folders every day. Some folders I will check once a week or only when I have a few extra minutes.
For example in my business account I have folders for clients, prospects, JV partners, mentors, and my mastermind groups. I created folders for my financials and gather the online invoices and receipts there. Aweber merited a separate folder as I love to see the number of new subscribers I get every day.
Having my social media notifications in one account helped me a lot in keeping my focus on the important things. I've got very good at checking my social media email account only once a day. I have separate folders for all major social networks; I keep only the set-up emails and delete the rest. I check social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, e.g.) only once a day. The only exception is Twitter – I love to check what is going on in the world and use Twitter as my personal news agency.
The area that still gives me headaches is my newsletter subscriptions account. Depending on how busy I am, 2-3 days could go by until I check in there. And of course I began unsubscribing from newsletters that were not supporting me anymore.
What makes my system work?
- Having separate email addresses with the same email provider. All my 4 accounts are connected in Hotmail so switching among them is a breeze
- Email accounts for my distinct "audiences". No chance for incoming emails to go unnoticed from the people I really want to hear from e.g. clients, partners, family, etc.
- Incoming mail is automatically sorted into folders. This is the most important success factor! Using this awesome feature enables me to check the most important folders immediately and ignore some folders if I wish to.
There is one folder that I have in all my email accounts. Can you guess what it is? Please share your guesses in the comment section. Next week I will post the name of the folder with the reasons why you will want to create one of those secret folders, too.
How to make New Year's Resolutions survive beyond JanuaryPosted by: | Comments
New Year's Resolutions just like ideas don't keep; you have to do something about them. And this is when the problems come in. Because we usually don't do much about those goals especially after January fades into history.
Let me share three great tips that will give your resolutions (or any other goals) a chance to survive beyond January.
- Is it your own New Year's Resolution or are you following somebody else's agenda? Is this something you really want to achieve? Or is it an expectation you made your own? It is hard enough to work towards your heart's desires, but nearly impossible to reach the goals that are not yours deep down. Don't set up yourself for failure. If it is not YOUR goal, just cross it off your list now.
- Keep it a secret if you have to. Some New Year's Resolutions are best kept under covers. No, you don't have to share them with your friends, family or colleagues automatically. You most probably heard about the power of making your goals public and the accountability that comes with a public announcement. And it will work in your favor IF have a supportive environment around you. If you have a reason to suspect that all you get is discouragement, lack of trust in your abilities and good advice on why you should give up before beginning – your best bet is to keep things under cover.
- Choose your goal every day until it becomes a habit. You make a choice every day anyway – do you adhere to your resolution or do you chose to forget it and postpone it for tomorrow? It will help you tremendously if you pull those unconscious decisions to the light and decide to make conscious decisions every day from now on. Write down your choice every morning to serve as a reminder for the whole day. It might take up to a month until your new choices become habits, so be prepared to spend a minute or two to write out your choice every morning and then carry the note with you not just in your heart but in your purse, too. Just in case you need an extra reminder.
In my next blog post I share a few more practical tips on how to make sure your New Year's Resolutions thrive this year.
Anything you want. Just take action. Today.

Shoeing horses is not just about taking care of horses. We need to take care of the owners too. Sometimes we forget that the customer is the owner and not the horse! On occasion, someone will call and say, "I want to change my career. I think I'd like to get into the farrier business because I'm sick of people!
The average life expectancy of a horse is around twenty-five or thirty years of age. One year of horse age is comparable to 3 years of human age. In other words a 25 year old horse would be comparable to a 75 year old human and a 30 year old horse would be comparable to a 90 year old human.
In the mid 70s, Dr. Doug Butler went to Cornell University to get an advanced degree because he wanted to further his understanding of the horse.
Happy New Year! The New Year brings with it a determination to better ourselves through goals and resolutions. Sometimes it is easy to get into a rut or do "just enough to get by."One of the wonderful aspects of this craft is that there is always an opportunity to improve.
We all want to help our horses to be comfortable and sound. As horse owners, farriers and veterinarians it is worth considering some things we have control over (nutrition, exercise, regular trimming and shoeing intervals) and things we have no control over (genetics, congenital defects). It is important that we recognize the things we have little or no control over (and to accept it) and to take responsibility for the things we do have control over that can have a positive influence on the horse.
Reviewed by Jacob Butler CJF, AWCF of Butler Professional Farrier School LLC, January 22, 2014 I enjoyed reading Horse Vet, Chronicles of a Mobile Veterinarian by Dr. Courtney Diehl. It is an easy read with real life stories of what to expect as a horse vet. I think anyone considering the idea of becoming a veterinarian should read this book.
by Doug Butler PhD, CJF, FWCF Butler Professional Farrier School Every so often we hear a practicing farrier or farrier student say, as they attempt to explain away their poor performance and inferior workmanship, "Oh, it's good enough!" We then ask, "Good enough for who?" "Good enough for what?"
Farriers and veterinarians alike have (or should have) the horse's welfare in mind. We do our best to make horses comfortable and would never purposefully harm a horse. We want the horse to be safe. We want the horse to be healthy. We do not want the horse to hurt! It would be nice if horses could speak (or at least if more horse practitioners could understand what they are saying) for then we would know exactly what is ailing the horse.
Doug Butler PhD, CJF, FWCF Butler Professional Farrier School Each one of us needs to face the fact that we are not going to live forever. We don't know when our number will be up. Are you prepared for this eventuality? Are you at peace with yourself and your God? Have you conveyed your feelings of affection to those that are close to you? Have you taught your children life skills? Have you done your homework and put your financial affairs in order?
There are few things that can compare to the soul refreshment that can be felt when riding a good horse in natural surroundings. Yet a lame horse can cast a dark cloud over what should be a rewarding experience.

Pairs of Pears
By Caroline Barrett/Life@Home
Pears have great personality. Each has its own look: leaning this way or that, bright green, pale yellow or deep scarlet red. No matter the color or size, however, they also have one trait in common: frump. Pears are slightly lumpy and always have a big bottom. Pear-shaped is what they call it.
It's not flattery for anyone or any thing. But I think this fruit is beautiful, in all its frumpiness.
Eating pears is a special treat and I have a lovely memory of Lucy, at 14 months, sitting on a blanket one fall afternoon. I gave her a pear to eat and she slobbered and juiced and gobbled while we lay back to watch the clouds pass over the blue fall sky. This was in the days of no siblings, and we were able to spend afternoons eating pears and lying about. It was a peaceful and sweet time.
All these years later, no matter the weather or how quiet it is around here, I love and crave pears. There's the exact moment when a pear is just perfectly ripe, and we all scramble for the fruit bowl.
"Please," I beg my children. "Save me a pear. Just one."
Greedy hands take each and every pear, often leaving none for me and my salad. I'm lucky every now and then if a lone, ripe pear is left for me in the bottom of the fruit bowl. I slice it over field greens, throwing in a few bits of bold kale. A crumble of goat cheese, a handful of pecans, and I don't even bother to serve it on a plate. I eat this salad, fork in hand, directly from the salad bowl. Every bite is part sweet, part salt, with buttery pecans sending it over the top. Sometimes Zoe and Lucy see me and cuddle up with their own forks, mooching from my salad. I happily oblige. Though it's short, I savor the moment.
Even with all this juiciness and yumminess, I'm still torn between form and function with our beloved pears. Do I love pears for their beauty and art? Or their sweet flesh? A pear sits alone on my windowsill and no matter how juicy and sweet it may be on the inside, I want to savor it, only for its aesthetic.
At Christmastime, we line our fireplace mantel with big, Red Anjou pears, twinkly white lights and pine boughs keeping them company. I tie gauzy ribbons around the top of miniature Bartlett pear stems, and hang them from our Christmas tree.
I also use the pears, any size or color, on our holiday table. They sit in a straight line, among the candles. Or I dress them up with a bit of wire and pretty paper for a simple place setting. My kids are always happy to decorate at Christmas, and they will sit quietly with scissors in hand, making beautiful adornments. Little hands can easily wrap copper wire around a pear stem. They are happy and proud to place these markers out for our guests and family.
Happily, you can find these tasty fruits through the end of December, and sometimes beyond, at farmers markets. Yes, they are singularly delicious. Pears are good for you, too. Eating a pear will fill you with sweetness, but also fiber, vitamin A and vitamin C.
Aside from salads and tree ornaments and table decorations, we also bake our pears. It's a special Christmas treat to set sweet pears in puff pastry, bake them until a golden crust appears, and then drown the confection in a buttery cream and bourbon sauce. It is completely appropriate, and even a nod to the pears, to eat this dessert heartily. Slurping and gobbling are encouraged. After the holiday season is over, we'll be back to eating pears the healthy way on salad.
I enjoy pears out of hand, sliced in salad and baked into sweet, decadent desserts. Hey, I even like to admire them for their imperfect and rather dumpy looks. But ask my family, and they stand together in this: eating pears is best.
Baked Pears with Bourbon Cream Sauce
serves 8
- 4 Bosc pears, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, and cored
- 1 sheet puff pastry, cut into 8 rectangles
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cinnamon
- Bourbon Cream Sauce (recipe follows)
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large baking sheet. Place the puff pastry rectangles evenly on the sheet, leaving space between. Fold up the edges of the rectangles, creating a small lip all the way around.
Brush the pastries with a little melted butter; then place a pear, face down, on each. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle evenly over the pears.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Cool. Remove from pan, place on serving plates and spoon Bourbon Cream Sauce over each.
Bourbon Cream Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 ounces bourbon
Heat the cream and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
Add the vanilla, sugar and butter. Whisk until the butter is completely melted.
Stir in the bourbon, cook for another 2-3 minutes on low heat, and serve.

Margaret Burgess Park Would be Fenced-Off
When we have noted to the Ministry of Natural Resources that the treacherously-turbulent water exiting the proposed hydro-electric generating station at the Bala falls would be extremely dangerous to the in-water recreation at the base of the Bala north falls. The MNR says "It is commonly recognized that swimming, wading or other water‐based activities below a water control structure such as the Bala North dam are not advisable recreational practices".
The photograph below was taken below the Bala north dam. Obviously it can be safe playing in the water below the Bala north dam. Nothing here can change suddenly. This is exactly what draws people to Bala and why the Bala falls are famous. This is an important factor in the local economy. This is natural. This is an experience to be remembered for a lifetime. This is Canada, this is an important part of our culture. And being able to judge natural water features to be safe is an important part of growing up.
And as shown by the photograph below, being able to sit on natural rock, with a clear view of a beautiful river is also what draws people to Bala. Unlike most every other waterfalls in the area, the Bala Falls are accessible, there is an adjacent road and park, there is parking, there are shops and restaurants. This is important to be maintained.
The MNR states that it would be the proponent's responsibility "to ensure appropriate public safety measures are in place as they relate to the flows". Given the dangerous flows from the proposed generating station direclty adjacent to the Bala falls, there is only one way to try to make this safe – put a fence around Margaret Burgess Park to prevent people from accessing the water.
As shown in the photograph below, for a long time there has been fencing all around the Bracebridge Falls (the generating station there has only ⅓ of the flow of that proposed for Bala, and is operated by the same company that would operate the proposed Bala generating station – so they certainly understand how to put concrete and fencing on natural rock, and believe it is necessary).
Therefore, the proponent's current plans would require that all of Margaret Burgess Park be fenced-off to prevent people from accessing the water. This would be ugly, it would permanently remove a main draw of people to Bala and reduce the benefit of tourism to the local economy.
Quick Current Summary
- Ignoring many serious questions of public safety, law, and process, it was announced in January 2013 that the Minister of the Environment would not vary his Director's decision. So for now, the proponent has one of the many approvals they would need to proceed with their proposed Alternative 1A, which they claim could be built solely on the Crown land south of the north Bala Falls, and which would be substantially closer to, and angled towards the in-water recreational area at the base of the North Falls.
- There are many other approvals needed – from all four levels of government and from other organizations as well.
- A significant approval needed from the Ministry of Natural Resources is Location Approval, under the Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. One major issue is that the traditional and historic portage through Bala has been shown to be over the Crown land south of the north falls (detail here and here), and information from both the MNR and proponent have confirmed the existence of this portage route. The proposed hydro-electric generating station would obstruct this portage, and blocking a portage that "has existed or exists" is not allowed under the Public Lands Act. Remarkably, the provincial government feels that such rules do not apply to them, and they can just declare the land unsafe, and somehow they no longer need to protect the portage.
Recent Development
Now it gets interesting
On January 23, 2013, the Ministry of the Environment released the decision that the Minister of the Environment decided not to vary his Director's decision which denied our many requests that the proposed project to build a hydro-electric generating station at the Bala Falls requires elevation to address many significant and serious issues. Our observations include:
- This is just one of many approvals this proposed project would need, these from all four levels of government and from other organizations as well. We will continue to highlight the safety, economic and other concerns.
- The decisions made by the Minister of the Environment avoided addressing many major issues of law, some of these decisions were based on information from the Ministry of Natural Resources.
- The Ontario Liberal government's process is backwards, in that once they select an "Applicant of Record" to develop a site, they feel there a committment to provide all subsequent environmental and other approvals regardless of how unsuitable the site may then be found to be. So rather than first checking whether a project can be done safely to the environment and people, a developer is selected and the politicians then override all fact, science, and policy for fear of being sued or scaring away developers from future projects.

We want your WoolOvers to last just as much as you do (we have our reputation to uphold!) so here is our guide to prolonging the life of your knitwear. Follow these steps and your garments should last for years to come!
All of our fabrics are a blend of natural protein fibres and knitted from machine-washable yarn. Wash them on a wool program, using a non-bio detergent at a maximum spin speed of 600 rpm.
Many biological detergents contain wool-eating enzymes. Never use biological detergents or stain removers on Wool, Silk or Cashmere fibres because the enzymes will literally digest the fabric and you may end up with unsightly holes!
Afraid not. Those that contain bleach will lead to progressive fading and may weaken the fabric, again leading to holes.
Wool and natural fibre detergents are available at all supermarkets. Many sell Woolmark-approved own brand products. Other good brands include Dreft, Persil Silk and Wool, Woolite, Stergene and Ecover Wool Wash.
Most of our knitwear is machine washable, there are some newer styles that are hand wash only. Please see wash label for washing instructions.
REMEMBER: to increase the life of your WoolOvers, use a slow spin (600 rpm or less) and a low temperature (30° max.) to avoid stretching, shrinking and matting of the fibres.
Our cotton blends will be fine in your tumble dryer, but avoid direct heat on the woollens. These should be reshaped and allowed to dry naturally.
TIP: Keep them supported to maintain their shape, a broad banister can be ideal, or simply lay flat, ensuring you rotate it.
Our packages are nearly always beneath local taxation thresholds, but on rare occasions deliveries can be subject to duty and tax charges. WoolOvers are not liable for any such charges. Please note,customs policies vary widely from country to country. We recommend you contact your local customs office for further information.
All delivery times are estimated, WoolOvers cannot be held liable for any delays that may occur which are outside our control.

A bill before the Tennessee General Assembly could have a chilling effect on a community's relationship with local law enforcement, according to several law enforcement officials contacted by The City Paper, among them Metro Chief of Police Ronal Serpas.
State Rep. Chad Faulkner, R-Luttrell, who is also a Knox County Deputy Sheriff, has introduced legislation that, if enacted, would require that a copy of any complaint registered against police and other law enforcement officials be shown to the person accused in the complaint prior to any investigation. The complaints would include personal information about those requesting relief.
According to Serpas, law enforcement officials are already given due process when complaints are made.
"The majority of complaints made about law enforcement officials come from a citizen's misunderstanding of the law," he said. "More serious complaints are investigated in concert with civil service regulations and Tennessee statutes to ensure that law enforcement officials are protected from unfounded or unsubstantiated allegations."
Furthermore, Serpas said that no one would face suspension or termination based on an anonymous complaint. An anonymous complaint might result in a closer inspection of an officer's behavior, but any further action would have come from a substantive investigation with evidentiary proof.
But Serpas' larger concern was what he called the "chilling effect" a law of this nature could have on a community's relationship with local law enforcement. Serpas said the perception created that the public can't make complaints without fear of retaliation is damaging to the public trust.
Faulkner told The City Paper his intent in filing the legislation was to give law enforcement officials due process and not let citizen complaints linger for months on end.
"We want to work with all law enforcement communities and address these issues in the legislature," he said.
He told the story of a former colleague in Murfreesboro who wasn't notified for 16 months about a complaint lodged against him. By the time he was asked about the incident that resulted in the complaint, the officer had no recollection. Faulkner said his colleague ended up being suspended for three days over an event he couldn't recall or present evidence about in his own defense.
Faulkner also stressed that he doesn't want to discourage citizens from stepping forward when they have concerns about their community law enforcement.
A history of violence
When it comes to the violation of that trust, Serpas has firsthand experience that dates back to his time as a major in the New Orleans Police Department.
On Oct. 11, 1994, Kim Marie Groves, a resident of New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, witnessed a local police officer pistol-whip a suspect in a shooting. The officer Groves saw in the beating was Sammie Williams, whose partner on patrol was Len Davis. She reported what she saw to the internal affairs division of the NOPD.
Davis was one of of New Orleans' dirtiest cops. He was heavily involved in the drug trade, busting rival dealers and protecting ones who paid tribute to him. Davis thought if Groves' complaint was investigated, it might end his successful moonlighting occupation.
Despite NOPD rules that were supposed to keep the complaint private until an investigation was complete, Davis found out within 24 hours that paperwork had been filed with the department.
Davis, the leader of the police drug trade, decided to handle the problem his way. He ordered a small-time dealer named Paul Hardy to kill Groves. Hardy saw it as a chance to get in good with a dirty cop, so he carried out the contract hit.
Just before midnight on Oct. 12, 1994, Hardy walked up to Groves and shot her once in the head. He was paid $300.
To the general public it was just another murder in what was then the murder capital of the United States. It was months later when the public discovered that a cop had ordered the hit. Then all hell broke loose.
Serpas said the effect of the shooting on the police department was devastating. All told, nine police officers were arrested for their involvement in the Davis drug ring. Today, Davis sits on death row at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind.
Most local complaints are dismissed
Kennetha Sawyers, head of Metro police's Office of Professional Accountability, said she had some concerns over the proposed legislation as well. She said her department would be severely handicapped if it wasn't allowed to accept verbal complaints or act on anonymous tips.
"The practice of discouraging or chilling complaints is unconstitutional because cities have an affirmative constitutional duty to protect citizens from officers who demonstrate a propensity for violence," she said.
Her office doesn't notify an officer of a covert investigation, she said. "In other cases, the officer is notified in seven days. If they ask for full investigation, we try to accomplish that in 45 days. Officers are typically given the name of the accuser, but they don't have the address or phone number on the report they are handed. If it is an anonymous complaint, it would be stated."
Most complaints against officers are dismissed, according to Metro police spokesman Don Aaron. He told The City Paper that in 2009 there were 800 documented complaints. Only 16 percent of those were found to have merit.
The number of complaints last year was actually down from 2008, when 848 were taken against police. Aaron said the percentage of valid complaints tends to hold steady.

I thought this was amazingly funny, and thought I'd share. When Bush visited Riga, he was met by what he thought were his supproters. They carried around posters with his portrait on it, and words "Peace Duke". You'll find pictures here; in fact, those posters were apparently all over Riga; Bush even took a picture of himself with a lady carrying a T-shirt like that (seen here) - that picture even made it into Washington Post. The only problem... In several Eastern European languages including Russian, when those two words are said together, they form a pretty obscene word. So in essence Bush was smiling at himself being greatly humiliated
P.S. I really don't want to start a Bush debate here. While I, as board readers know, don't like the guy, I think he (with a couple of exceptions) did a pretty good job on this very complex tour. I just thought this was hilarious regardless of what you think of the politics of it. Just as I couldn't help laughing when back in the Kosovo campaign days some Russian anti-Clinton posters read, "Monica, please put your teeth together".

Andrea Stramaccioni joked his "12 agents have to negotiate my salary" if he is to be confirmed on the Inter bench next season.
President Massimo Moratti confirmed he is pushing to keep the former youth team Coach, who remains unbeaten after seeing off Cesena 2-1 today.
"Will I stay? It depends, my 12 agents have to negotiate my salary," smiled the 36-year-old.
"It was the most difficult game today, because we could catch third place and in the past this sort of situation prompted the team to slip up," said Stramaccioni.
"It is therefore a very important victory for us. We saw the best Inter today, as we created so many chances despite the fact we initially went behind.
"We kept the ball well and were consistent. The lads also showed character to turn the result around and win a tough match. Although Cesena were already relegated, they played at 100 per cent and really honoured Serie A.
"Of course we can do better, as we concede goals too easily, but we are working on this."
Mauro Zarate came off the bench and scored, so Stramaccioni was asked whether he'll want to keep the Lazio-owned striker.
"I don't think it is opportune to talk about these issues here. We are focused only on the next game."

French Wines - American Influence Jul 03, 2010
The history of the vineyards is quite intriguing. During a recent wine tasting I learned about American influence on French wines. Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continues to epitomize the power and complexity they are capable of. While most known wines in the United States are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, allowing wine makers in each setting in a given region to use that blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate.
The most famous have their individual and classic traits with St. Estephe giving full and rustic wines, heavy clay soils, to Paulliacs elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel.
Moving south brings you to Margaux with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame. The Graves region has wines redolent with tobacco, gravel and smoke.
To the east lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderful ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep plush wines of uncommon refinement.
Had it not been for American grapevine rootstock, Bordeaux and several other of the world's greatest vineyards would no longer exist. In the late 1890s, the root louse known as Phylloxera was ravaging vineyards in Bordeaux, the Rhone, Burgundy and the rest of Europe. Wine production was at a near standstill as vineyards died in by the acre. It was discovered that while the native rootstock of Europe's Vitis Vinifera was very susceptible to Phylloxera, the Vitis Labrusca rootstock, a north American native was resistant to the louse. A campaign to replant Vinifera vines grafted onto Labrusca rootstock saved wines as we now know it. Bordeaux was hit especially hard, and is the most dramatic example of the ghastly effect of Phylloxera had on the world.
Today with very few exceptions, all of the quality wine in the world is made from grapes grown on Vinifera (European) vines grafted onto Labrusca (North American) rootstock. Thus America's influence on the Wine World.

We love eachother, but the communication is terribleVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Male
My girlfriend and I of 3 months have a hard time keeping conversations and end up acting like were strangers toward eachother. It started happening once she started doing Track for her school. I only get to talk to her for about an hour a day and when we do talk it just feels so awkward.
RomanceClass.com Advice
Lacking conversation is a common problem especially between those who just started dating.
Keep topics in mind to talk about: family, pets, friends, school, music, cable, sports, etc. Whenever you are drawing a blank, just think about those topics and something will pop out to talk about.
Here's another idea. Bring a book and read to each other from it. That will bring up things to discuss.
Good luck! George
p.s. after you date more your conversational problems will lessen.

Deadly Seduction...
During a Viking raid, Vidarr discovers the sole survivor of a destroyed village, a naked woman hiding in the shadows of a deserted longhouse. He is drawn to Kindra and will do anything to possess her. Once he whisks her back to his village, the sexual desire burning inside him grows out of control.

Primal instinct fueled by lust and desire overwhelm her body and soul. Raw seduction and untamed urges send her spiraling into the arms of a man who has vowed to protect her no matter what the cost. She falls into temptation and indulges in the pleasures that only he can give her. Can she trust Vidarr or will he lead her down a dark path of destruction?
A Dangerous Love Triangle...
Ingunn, Vidarr's long-time lover, does not want to share him with anyone, especially with Kindra. Jealousy consumes her. Revenge occupies her thoughts. She will do anything to keep him—even make a deal with a king who plans on unleashing a beast so dangerous that it could destroy the world.

Strange things start happening when Gunnar Ravenshield returns to Dublin with his new captive. After discovering she bears the mark of Freya, goddess of love and war, he is determined to unlock the meaning of an ancient prophecy that promises power and riches. He will not rest until Shannon, the Valkyrie of Fire, is his--body and soul.
Gunnar Ravenshield has what it takes to conquer Shannon sexually, but can he conquer her heart? If he fails, then he will lose much more than lands and riches. He will lose his life. Can love conquer all?
The lovers fall into temptation, but they will have to pay a price for their sordid affair. Lord Hector uses the powers of evil to tear them apart in order to have Rowena for his own. Will Sir Eadric be her hero, or will he be just a one night stand?

(Disclaimer: This article is to serve as information only, not legal advice.)
As an Arizona medical marijuana patient, you have the legal right to possess up to 2 ounces in the state of Arizona. With that said, you always want to know your rights when you get pulled over because police can still try and charge you with a DUI even if you didn't medicate that day.
Who better than ex-state trooper Barry Cooper to teach you how to stay safe when you get pulled over by law enforcement:
It is now illegal for police to force you to wait for a canine unit during a traffic stop. Top commenter on the Reddit thread makes a good point however:
"All legal protections like this only apply to your court case after the fact. You can tell this to a cop, but it does nothing to prevent them from beating your ass and searching your vehicle anyways. You will be arrested, you will be processed, you will spend some days in holding.
Then when you make bond, and get to trial a month later, this can be used as a valid defense and your charges will likely be dropped, but don't believe that you can quote a docket number of a supreme court ruling to a cop and be let go, it does not work like that, because they often have less legal knowledge than you do."

Don't Cry For Me, Inu-Yasha
"You won't get away demon!"
Inu-Yasha stared into the close face of his pursuer. "Kagome? No…Kikyo."
"Run fast, Inu-Yasha! I will still kill you!"
"Wait! Kikyo! Don't! It was Naraku! He tricked us!!!"
"You are even more of a coward than I thought…blaming others for your vile deeds!"
Arrows shot, it seemed, from every direction towards the fleeing half-demon. None of them hit their desired target. Memories of the past flooded back to Inu-Yasha…
"No matter how much we fought, Kikyo never killed me, and I never killed her…why do you not strike the final blow?" "Get out of here. You're just a waste of arrows."
"Curse you, Naraku," Inu-Yasha muttered under his breath. He turned around, pulling out the Tetsusaiga, therefore, shielding himself from another barrage of arrows. Kikyo was coming closer and closer, but now…she seemed to have a sad face, yet a loving one. Inu-Yasha stood frozen, paralyzed by his emotions.
"Why, Inu-Yasha? Why did you betray me?" Kikyo screamed, throwing her arms around him. "Why?" Tears poured out of her pained storm-gray eyes.
"Kikyo…I didn't…Naraku…" Inu-Yasha's throat seemed to freeze between every few words as Kikyo held him closer and closer.
"Why, Inu-Yasha?" Kikyo leaned close to the dog-demon's ear and whispered softly and lightly, "I…loved you…"
"Kikyo…I…" Inu-Yasha again felt his throat paralyze.
"But now…" Kikyo's face twisted with anger and hatred, "Now you must…DIE!"
"Kikyo!" Inu-Yasha's eyes widened with fear. Here he was, almost locked in the arms of a former priestess who was set on killing him.
Balls of energy formed in her hands. "DIE INU-YASHA!" The energy shot from her hands to Inu-Yasha's back (which wasn't very far because he was locked in her arms). Inu-Yasha fell from her arms, badly wounded. Kikyo leaned over the helpless youkai. She leaned in close, as if to kiss him. She got closer and closer, until she was close enough to feel her cold breath reflected off his face.
Kikyo murmured sweetly, "Inu-Yasha…Inu-Yasha…"
*gasp* *heavy breathing*
Inu-Yasha woke with a start, breathing heavily and sweating bullets. "Why does Kikyo haunt me like this?" He was napping on the branch of a tall tree. It was about noon and the sun was making its way through the thick, billowing clouds. He thought that it would have rained, but it wasn't wet anywhere. Inu-Yasha looked up again at the sky. Earlier it had been a storm-gray color…like the color of Kikyo's eyes…but now, it was a pale blue.
"Kikyo," Inu-Yasha thought again. Now the demon that caused their hatred was no more…he remembered the day when Naraku was destroyed. That day, Naraku almost killed Kagome, taking her hostage and using her as a shield to all of Inu-Yasha's attacks. Finally, when the spell over her was broken, Naraku had put his hand over her mouth in order to quiet her loud screams. Inu-Yasha chuckled as he remembered that Kagome had bitten down hard on Naraku's fingers, making him yelp and jump up with pain. At that moment, Inu-Yasha had taken out his Tetsusaiga and started the vicious battle, which lasted for hours. In the end, Inu-Yasha ended up with many wounds, all of which were serious, even for the half-breed. It had taken him at least a week to recover.
In the course of that week, Kagome watched over him constantly and was always by his side. She had told him a week before the encounter with Naraku that her exams were done, and she didn't need to go home to study anymore. He had tried valiantly to cover up his happiness at this information, but failed terribly. Shippo, he remembered, had jumped up and down for at least two hours straight, and then must have slept for at least two days straight. Well, as I was saying, Kagome stayed by Inu-Yasha's side every day, every hour, every minute, and every second while he was recovering. She fed him, washed him, and changed his bandages every single day, for a week at least. Inu-Yasha loved to have her around him all the time, but her eternal care lasted only a week. Now, Inu-Yasha was fully recovered, and she was by his side less often.
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome called up to him.
"What?!" Inu-Yasha responded. He hated when she called him…she always wanted something from him, and she usually got whatever she wanted. She knew how to push all his buttons, manipulate him in any way she wanted.
"I'm going to go back now."
"D*mn!" he thought, she even knows how to get his attention. He jumped down from his comfy branch. "Why?" He demanded.
"I don't need to go, I
just wanted you to come down. Anyways,
I'm not going home now, but I'll need to go tomorrow."
"Why?" He demanded again.
"I need to go visit my family every two weeks at least. I have a life of my own, too."
Luckily for Inu-Yasha, he knew how to push her buttons, too, just a little. He put on his pouty puppy dog face, making his ears droop and his shoulders sag down. Kagome started to feel bad for the big, cuddly puppy dog.
"Oh, Inu-Yasha, don't make that face, please, don't." Kagome began to regret what she had said, "If you want, I'll stay here!"
Inu-Yasha's puppy face disappeared immediately, and he gave one of his rare smiles. Kagome loved to see him smile…but she had to mess with him just a little bit. She loved to do that, too.
"Okay, Inu-Yasha, but I have to go back there every three weeks, then."
Inu-Yasha again put on his sad face. Kagome was ready this time; she filled her eyes with tears. Inu-Yasha immediately took off his pouty face.
"Curse it! I made her cry again…" he thought.
"Here we go again," Inu-Yasha muttered. "I hate making her cry…I never know if she's faking or not." "Kagome…I…" he managed to say.
"NO! You don't care!" She shouted, bursting into tears. "I love to make him sorry," she thought. She ran far into Inu-Yasha's Forest to the Bone-Eaters Well. She was halfway through a jump into the well when Inu-Yasha grabbed her from the air and put her back down on the ground next to the well.
"I think I'll push him a little farther," Kagome thought. She kept crying and tried to jump in the well again. This time, when Inu-Yasha grabbed her in midair, he just held on to her. While in his arms, Kagome stopped crying immediately and said, "I love to mess with you!" Inu-Yasha looked down at her accusingly, trying to look angry, but Kagome's playful face pushed him into a smile. He carried her about halfway back to his napping tree and frowned. Inu-Yasha stopped suddenly, waking Kagome from her little nap. The gentle rocking of Inu-Yasha's stride had lulled her into a peaceful slumber.
"You can go back home if you want…I'll take you back to the well…if you want," Inu-Yasha said, looking down apologetically at her. He seemed to be saying it sincerely…
"Inu-Yasha!" Kagome was fully awake now. "Are you alright? Do you want me to go back? You seemed so sincere, you must be sick or something!" She felt his forehead, checking his temperature.
"It's not that I want you to go, but if you have to, you can." He turned around slowly and started walking back to the well.
"No, it's okay, Inu-Yasha. I was planning to go back tomorrow anyways." Kagome shifted her position in his arms so that she was facing Inu-Yasha. "Turn around and go back to the tree," she said sleepily.
"But, I thought…"
Kagome put a finger on his lower lip to silence him. "Just go back to the tree and wake me when we get there."
Inu-Yasha turned around and started back to the tree, his "nap tree." As he was walking, Kagome again fell in a peaceful slumber.
When they arrived back at the tree, Inu-Yasha shook Kagome to wake her. As she opened her storm-gray eyes, Inu-Yasha suddenly remembered his dream of an encounter with Kikyo. He remembered the painful storm-gray eyes. Inu-Yasha almost dropped Kagome in surprise, but caught her again and put her down in front of him. Kagome gave a sleepy yawn and stretched her arms. It was near dusk now, about time to eat and go to sleep.
"Oh!" Kagome exclaimed.
"I wanted to give you something, I forget what it was…I think I left it by your tree." Kagome searched around the base of Inu-Yasha's "nap tree" and found what she was looking for, Inu-Yasha's most favorite thing in the world. "Here you go!" Kagome handed Inu-Yasha some Ramen. His eyes lit up when she handed him the cup of instant noodles. She smiled as he took it eagerly, eyes shining. "Glad you like it!" She said, tipping her head and smiling brightly. Inu-Yasha looked up at her like a little child at Christmas; he loved her smile. "Okay," she said, "I guess I better get going."
"You're leaving already? D-Do you have to?" Inu-Yasha's sad puppy dog face again took its toll on Kagome.
"No, silly," she explained, "I'm going to stay with Lady Kaede tonight. She's been feeling a little under the weather lately. So, is it okay if you stay here alone tonight?"
"Feh. Of course! Like I would need your company."
"Oh well, it was great while it lasted," Kagome thought. "C'ya Inu-Yasha!"
Kagome started walking to Kaede's. Turning around, she waved at Inu-Yasha, who was still watching her, and set off through the forest.
There had been something on Inu-Yasha's mind for the past hour (that's never happened before, here I thought he was just a mindless pet), and he needed to go find Kikyo and do something about her. First of all, he would follow Kagome to make sure she got there all right. Then, he would find Kikyo; he had a feeling that she was close by. He needed to do something to rid himself of her wrath. So, leaving his treasure on his favorite tree branch, Inu-Yasha sprang off silently to the tree branches to watch Kagome. Finding her scent, he followed it to her and watched her until she made it to Kaede's house/hut/something-or-other. "Now," he thought, "to find Kikyo." He had a good idea of where she was. Kaede had said that Kikyo had come to visit her a while ago, so he used his brain (I didn't know he had one either^_^) and went back to the dreaded tree that he had been pinned to for 50 years. There, he found Kikyo sitting among the flowers that still bloomed in the area.
"Inu-Yasha," she said, looking up, "I've been waiting for you."
"Oh really…"
"I still remember when you rescued that girl," she hissed, "instead of staying with me. Choose, Inu-Yasha! Will it be her or me? Tell me!" Arrows shot in his direction and he fled in the direction of Kaede's house/hut/something-or-other.
"Maybe if I lead her to Kagome, her soul will return to Kagome…or might it be the other way around?" Inu-Yasha paused momentarily, thinking the matter over. "If Kagome's soul goes to Kikyo, Kikyo will remain the same, hating me, and Kagome will be a lifeless shell." The thought sent shivers down his spine. "However, if Kikyo's soul goes back to Kagome, Kikyo would be able to rest in peace, wouldn't she?" An arrow hit Inu-Yasha's arm, making him yelp in agony. He pulled the arrow out quickly.
"Why are you slowing down Inu-Yasha? Run for your life!"
"I'll have to take the chance," Inu-Yasha thought hastily. He wished silently to himself, "Please return to Kagome, Kikyo."
When they arrived at Kaede's house/hut/something-or-other, Kagome, sensing a presence, rushed outside to see what it was.
"Kikyo!" She gasped.
"Choose, Inu-Yasha!" Kikyo screamed at him.
"Choose?" Kagome said with confusion (she's confuzzled).
"Kagome! Find some way to take your soul back!" Inu-Yasha yelled desperately.
"What?" Kikyo screeched. "You dare choose her over me?" Kikyo aimed an arrow straight at Kagome and fired, laughing hysterically. The arrow went too fast for Inu-Yasha to block…
Kagome gasped as she saw the arrow speeding towards her, she seemed to freeze in place. Then, just as the arrow was about to hit her, a shield seemed to block its path, and the arrow just fell to the ground. Kagome stepped closer to Kikyo, making her back away.
"NO! Get away from me!" Kikyo screamed out. Her soul was being sucked away from her body made of earth and bones. "NO!"
Kagome stepped closer and closer. Her soul was returning to her. Kikyo kept screaming…
Inu-Yasha watched painfully as the soul transfer took place. When he heard his name, he put his hands over his ears. "Restrain yourself!" he thought. "It's for the best…"
"Inu-Yasha! Don't let her kill me!"
Inu-Yasha closed off his ears tightly. "It'll be over soon," Inu-Yasha reassured himself. As the last of her soul was returning to Kagome, Kikyo managed to aim and shoot one last arrow at Inu-Yasha, "I told you," she said breathlessly, "I will not rest until you die as well!" The arrow flew at him, sure and swift.
Kagome fell breathless, the arrow lodged in the center of her chest. Inu-Yasha, right behind her, looked on in surprise. The soul transfer had been completed in the last millisecond, and Kikyo was now lifeless. Inu-Yasha knelt down at Kagome's side. She was breathing heavily, trying to pull out the arrow impaled in her chest.
"You're so stupid!" Inu-Yasha said accusingly. "I could've survived that!"
"What if I couldn't pull it out again? What if it was worse than the other arrow she pinned you to the tree with?"
"Can you pull the arrow out?"
"Maybe…" Inu-Yasha pulled the arrow out and threw it aside. "Don't die, Kagome. You can't die, yet. You're too stubborn to kill."
"I don't think I'll survive. You know how frail mortal bodies are. You've said that so many times…" Kagome's voice began to grow weak. "I'll only last a couple more hours. After all, it pierced my heart, I think. You're supposed to last only…"
Inu-Yasha placed a finger on her lower lip to silence her. "Don't waste your energy."
Blood was beginning to pour from the wound. Inu-Yasha picked Kagome up and carried her into Kaede's house/hut/something-or-other.
"What do you want?" Kaede demanded. Then, seeing Kagome, she understood. "Oh dear God. Where was she hit?"
"In her chest, through her heart."
"Oh no…"
"She won't live will she?" Inu-Yasha looked away from Kaede. A tear slid down his cheek and fell on Kagome's hand. Kagome looked up to Inu-Yasha. "Why so sad Inu-Yasha? You'll probably meet my reincarnation in 50 years…can you wait that long? Demons live long, don't they?"
"There's nothing we can do for her, Inu-Yasha…I'm sorry," Kaede uttered softly. "I'm so, so sorry."
"I'm sorry, too, Inu-Yasha," Kagome whispered, "I'm sorry that I'm human, that I have to die like this."
"No…you won't die…I won't let you die." Another tear slid from Inu-Yasha's cheek. Kagome reached up and wiped his tear away. "Don't cry, Inu-Yasha."
"Who says I'm crying?!" Inu-Yasha howled.
"Don't cry, Inu-Yasha," Kagome repeated, wiping away another tear. "It'll make me sad, too…don't cry…that's not the tough guy I know."
"I DON'T CARE!" Inu-Yasha howled.
"Don't be sad, Inu-Yasha. Show me your smile…I don't want to die looking up to a crying Inu-Yasha. Show me your smile," she said gently. Kagome smiled at him weakly.
"How can she smile like this?" Inu-Yasha thought as he looked down in surprise.
"Hey! We're back!" Shippo yelled out happily as he entered the door. "Oh," he gasped, "What happened to Kagome? Is Inu-Yasha crying?"
Miroku walked in just as Shippo was asking his questions. "Lady Kagome!" Miroku rushed over to where everyone was crowded around Kagome, who was still being held by Inu-Yasha.
"Kagome's been hit by an arrow from Kikyo," Kaede explained.
"Where was she hit?" Miroku asked.
"In the heart," Inu-Yasha replied.
"Why don't you take her back to her time?" Shippo suggested. "They might be able to do something there!"
"That might work!" Inu-Yasha brightened.
"With one of Kikyo's arrows?" Kaede questioned.
"We have to try!" Inu-Yasha exclaimed.
"Don't touch me, Miroku," Kagome commanded. *everyone turns to look at Miroku*
"What?" *Miroku smiles innocently*
"I'll take her back to her own time," Inu-Yasha said as he turned to go.
"No," Kagome argued, "Let me stay here."
"DO YOU WANT TO DIE, GIRL?!" Inu-Yasha howled at her.
"If you take me home…my family will blame you for my injuries," Kagome debated weakly.
"Please don't yell at me, don't be angry at me, please," Kagome whispered.
Inu-Yasha turned and left with Kagome in his arms. He jumped from tree to tree, trying to make it to the Bone-Eater's well in time.
"Inu-Yasha…stop," Kagome pleaded. "You know I won't live long enough for you to make it."
"We'll see…"
"I'm positive they can't do anything about this anyways. You're wasting your energy."
"You really want to die, don't you?" Inu-Yasha said, stopping.
"There's nothing they can do about it," Kagome said sadly.
Inu-Yasha dropped to the ground and walked slowly in the direction of the well.
"Don't walk like that, Inu-Yasha," Kagome said, "You're going to make me fall asleep. I want to stay awake and be with you."
Inu-Yasha looked down in surprise at her (he's been doing that a lot lately, hasn't he?) and stopped momentarily. Then, he kept walking.
"Don't, Inu-Yasha," Kagome pleaded. She lifted her arms up around his neck and pulled herself up. Inu-Yasha stared into her eyes, her storm-gray eyes, as she got closer. Her eyes closed as their lips touched. Then, all too soon, their lips parted, and, in her last seconds of life, Kagome whispered softly, "Don't cry Inu-Yasha. Let me see your smile…" Her body fell lifeless in Inu-Yasha's arms.
"KAGOME! NO! DON'T DIE!" Inu-Yasha howled into the evening light. "KAGOME!"

Hi I'm Brady! I am a shih tzu puppy full of energy. I like to take long walks and play tug-of-war. Although one of my favorite things to play with is empty water bottles. My family calls me the "Marley" of shih tzus because I always end up getting myself into trouble ;-PView Profile
Hi I'm Nikki! I am a eight year old Shetland Sheepdog. I'm beginning to age now so I don't move as fast as I used to but I'm still a puppy at heart. I love to go for walks (especially in the woods), but get tired fast these days. I have many different looks because i get so hot with all of my hair in the summer, so my daddy buzz cuts me :). I love kids and get along with everyone. I love to herd things that move like kids, cars, and quads. What can I say, its my natural instinct!View Profile
This is Suzy. She was part pekingese and part shih tzu. She always loved to take walks and chase things like squirrels and birds. Suzy was a great dog who died of a brain tumor and will always be in our hearts. R.I.P SuzyView Profile

(A/N: This was a hard place to go to. That's one of the reasons it's so short-it was somewhere I didn't want to stay for very long. It's my take on that spoiler pic for 2x23 that made Tumblr explode with feelings. The title comes from the Doors' song "The End.")
Finale—The End of Our Elaborate Plans—2x23 spec
Felicity should have been terrified. There was a sword at her throat, and the man wielding it could take her head off her shoulders without expending much effort. She was afraid—of course she didn't want to die—but if this was her grand finale, she was okay with it. At least she'd go out on her feet.
With the hood down and his mask off, Felicity could see the progression of emotions playing across Oliver's face. Recognition, confusion, anger, fear. He vacillated between anger and fear, anger and fear, in time to her heartbeat, it seemed. It was hard for her to watch and not be able to do anything. Slade was shouting at him, roaring in her ear, and she could feel the cold edge of the blade on her neck.
She couldn't speak to be heard over Slade. She couldn't shake her head or anything. She was afraid any movement might draw Slade's attention from Oliver to her. All Felicity could do was hold Oliver's gaze. The despair in his eyes was almost more than she could take, trapped as she was, but she didn't look away.
It was all he said, all she needed to hear. Oliver had always been able to pack a world of meaning into something as simple as her name. She had no idea what her expression looked like, so she concentrated on communicating through her stare everything she'd said to him in the clock tower, and everything she hadn't been able to say.
Felicity saw the moment when Oliver got the message. So she smiled at him, closed her eyes, and jammed the syringe with the cure into Slade's thigh.

Color. Nothing affects our mood and emotional response more. It can make us angry that Brutus just betrayed Caesar, dream that Juliet is just beyond our reach, and swoon as Cinderella dances the night away with her prince. Color is an amazing tool that when applied properly strengthens and carries the emotion of the subject you're lighting.
Warm colors can be an indication of spring and summer, happier times, or high energy. Cool colors can represent deep emotional thought, winter, nighttime, or flashbacks. When selecting colors for use in the HOW market, one of the most important things to learn is how they affect emotion and the human mind. Below is a breakdown of the specific areas of our emotional spectrum that color can affect.
Red – Fire, Anger, Blood, Violence, Death, War. Perhaps one of the strongest and most perceived colors on the human eye, red is often representative of violence. It will increase an audience's heart rate and respiration. Red is also associated with courage and bravery. Red is also the most noticed color.
Orange – Joy, Sunrise, Happiness, Enthusiasm, Creativity, Health. The eye picks up orange as a very warm color, not as hot as red, but more active than yellow. It can increase oxygen flow to the brain and stimulate mental activity. As the color of fruit, orange is associated with health and vitality. When used with food displays it can make the items appear more appetizing.
Yellow – Sunshine, Joy, Intellect, Energy, Happiness. Yellow warms us. It is seen as light. Strongly associated with electricity and energy. Pure yellow focuses our attention. However, when overused, yellow can become disturbing. When used against black, yellow will be recognized before other colors. This is why it's used for safety warnings. Yellow also can contradict itself, representing both honor and loyalty as well as cowardice.
Green – Nature, Growth, Harmony, Freshness. Green is the most restful color for the eye. It can stimulate healing in patients. Green is associated with fresh food and nature. Green can also indicate a lack of experience. Dark shades can be associated with money and jealously. Yellow-green shows illness and discord. Aqua shows healing and protection. Olive is associated with peace.
Blue – Sky, Ocean, Water, Stability, Trust. Most often associated with tranquility and peace. Blue represents both the sky and water. It calms the mind and slows down metabolism. A masculine color, blue represents power, integrity, seriousness and focus. Blue is very effective at calming an audience. It can also be very striking against a palette of warm colors.
Purple – Royalty, Power, Nobility, Luxury, Wealth, Decadence. Traditionally associated with Kings and Queens. Purple denotes wealth and luxury. It also is indicative of mystery and magic. It is the most preferred color of children. Rare in nature, purple can often be considered artificial. It is the most feminine color.
White – Light, Good, Innocence, Purity, Faith, God. White is considered to be the color of perfection. It evokes safety and faith. It is a positive and strong emotional color. The color of snow, white is pure and clean. As such it is often associated with doctors, nurses and hospitals. Biblical figures are often depicted in white clothes. However, use white carefully as too much can overload the emotional center of the mind.
Black – Elegance, Death, Evil, Mystery. Black is the most negative of colors. Arguably the absence of color, black is often associated with death and evil. Shadow can accent and heighten the color around it. Black makes things appear longer and thinner. Black when used as the color of objects, denotes strength and authority.
An inescapable part of everyday life, color is all around us. Using it to your advantage is one of the best skills that you as a lighting designer can develop. Get out there and discover what works best for your subject and hone your skills today.

Please login to recommend the paper.
This paper explores in-vivo MRI plaque number quantitation in PS1/APP doubly transgenic mice and relates these studies to invasive techniques such as ex-vivo MRI and histologic staining. The correlations observed between in-vivo MR plaque load and ex-vivo correlative measures are very encouraging. This study is at the cutting edge and represents the best state of the art for the field of MR amyloid imaging. The study was carefully performed by expert investigators who have extensively published in both MRI (in AD and mice) and histologic evaluation of the PS1/APP mouse.
It is an important contribution to the literature, and great care has been taken to present the data in a balanced way. That is, the authors have pointed out the issues that remain to be surmounted before human amyloid imaging with MR is a possibility, and they note that a "number of significant technical barriers must be solved for this technique to be viable in the living human subject."
Of most importance is the issue of limiting motion to the degree necessary to resolve 100-micron plaques. It is interesting that with the present state of the art in MR imaging, it is no longer the resolution of the neuroimaging technique itself that is the limiting factor. Resolution of inanimate objects at 100 microns is no great feat in MR imaging studies today. The current challenge is to limit the inherent movement of living objects so this optimal resolution can be realized. While this paper and a similar previous report by this group (Jack et al., 2004) represent an impressive tour de force for cardiac and respiratory gating in order to minimize motion artifacts in the mice, it remains a great challenge to apply these approaches to humans. The authors put this work into a realistic context by stating, "This study serves as a foundation for using in-vivo MRI of transgenic mice (or other animal models) as a surrogate measure of plaque burden in natural history studies of plaque biology as well as drug discovery studies…." Regardless of when or if this MR technology is extended to humans, this remains a very important contribution for the animal work alone.
Although each approach has its advantages, this MR approach is less invasive and measures a larger brain area than comparable multiphoton imaging studies that have demonstrated very high-resolution images of plaques in living mice (Bacskai et al., 2003). MicroPET studies, in addition to having lower resolution, have failed to show plaque detection in transgenic mice to this point [Klunk et al. (in press) and Toyama et al., 2005]. Thus, the latest findings by Jack et al. represent a significant advance in imaging plaques in animal models of AD and present the field with a worthy challenge to extend this technology to human studies.

AFRICA: War and car insurance are God's business
by- 4th April 2012
You cannot know the real causes of conflict until you throw away your preconceptions and narrate the stories you hear as they are.
That was the message to journalists from award-winning author and poet Eliza Griswold for whom getting the story meant a journey of nine thousand miles from West Africa to Southeast Asia along the tenth parallel, seven hundred miles north of the equator.
Griswold spoke at London's Frontline Club (28 March) about the fault line where Christianity and Islam meet in this region. While there is interfaith conflict in many regions, the two religions have a history of coexistence, while what is massively underreported is the conflict within religions themselves, she said.
Her book, The Tenth Parallel, published in 2010, was inspired by the existence of this place where Islam and Christianity have lived together.
She travelled for seven years, from Nigeria, Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia, to Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, reporting about religious coexistence and conflict, crises of identity and economy, sectarian trouble and militancy.
'I wanted to go where such lives are actually led, where wars in the name of religion are not internet media campaigns to control a global narrative, but actually wars fought from village to village, street to street, corner to corner,' Griswold writes.
She wanted to deconstruct the oversimplified notion of a clash of civilisations, to see what conflict and coexistence looks like on the ground, and understand what causes both.
'Conflict is not caused by religion, but by power and the many identities foisted upon people in this region', she explained after her talk at the media's favourite watering hole in London's Paddington.
She told Lapido: 'When people choose to define themselves against one another, competition can lead to violence before you know it. Hate speech, remarks about ethnicity or religious beliefs can lead to actual physical violence faster than you can imagine.'
As the daughter of Frank Griswold, the 25th Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, she grew up in a house where faith was taken seriously, and learned to take people of all faiths seriously.
People rely on faith in economic ways she explained, which is difficult for many in the West to understand, especially editors who say time and again that the issues of trade or security for instance are not linked to religion.
'Where there is no insurance policy they believe God is their insurer, who am I to say what they believe is irrelevant?'
Griswold found an advantage in being a Western woman who dressed modestly in that it caused people to open up. Even in dangerous situations, her gender was an advantage.
'For instance, if somebody stopped your car, they would look in and be surprised there's a woman in the back seat and that would give you a few seconds to speed away. It is also expensive to kidnap a woman; she needs her own room, and you need a woman to look after her.'
Griswold read out two poems, one dedicated to Seamus Murphy, a photographer she worked with who was attacked alongside her, and another that she read aloud for the first time about her last trip to Afghanistan.
There she discovered that foreign journalists are now given a tracking device, and the poem captures her experience on the road alongside tanks and soldiers, her 'new heart' sending signals saying she's okay, while her other heart cried, 'hello, goodbye.'
She doesn't believe in purely objective journalism, but discovered that all her prior beliefs were thrown up in the air and her head was spinning so much that she could only tell the stories as she heard them.
She learned on the field that you don't go in search of answers, but aim to experience and learn.
Where the faultlines of faith are concerned, she may be onto something.
The Tenth Parallel: Dispatches from the Fault Line between Christianity and Islam by Eliza Griswold is published by Allen Lane.

Michael Vick may have been out of sight the past two years in federal prison, but the man was certainly not forgotten. Vick's story is going to play out on a very public stage in the coming months and clearly people's opinions are polarized.
We asked two days ago what Seattle fans would think if he wound up back with coach Jim Mora on the Seahawks and the responses were heated.
Most figure there's no way the character-minded Seahawks front office would go that direction, which I would agree seems unlikely.
Some question why Vick is being chastized more severely than other NFL players with long lists of misdeeds, with our own Jerramy Stevens making this list on Yahoo! Sports.
And some insist Vick is a lousy quarterback and Seneca Wallace is a better backup to Matt Hasselbeck, which is where I'll have to sharply disagree.
Vick wasn't a great passer, but the man did make the Pro Bowl three times and clearly was one of the NFL's premier athletes. He's been away from the game for two years and it'll be interesting to see how he returns, but he remains in his prime at 28 and will definitely be given a shot somewhere in the league.
Maybe you don't want him on your team, but that doesn't mean he can't play in a league where Shaun Hill, Dan Orlovsky and Gus Frerotte had starting jobs last year.
While ESPN.com's John Clayton listed the Seahawks as one of four franchises where Vick might wind up, Sports Illustrated's Peter King now comes up with five places where Vick might fit, but leaves Seattle off his list.
Chris Chase of Yahoo! Sports also has Seattle on his top-five list, though he puts the 49ers first and has the Seahawks an unlikely fifth.
The Seahawks aren't saying anything, a trend adopted by most teams in the NFL. This one is a hot potato nobody is touching for the moment. The Falcons still control Vick's rights, but owner Arthur Blank has said it's time for the troubled QB to move on.
So whether Atlanta ultimately trades or releases Vick, he's destined for a new team. And turmoil is sure to follow. Here's some of the latest news:
Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes this piece saying Vick needs to come out and say he's sorry, that he's learned from his mistakes and to let people see he is human and not some monster.
And, oh yeah, Bradley notes Vick was a better quarterback than many people want to believe now as history is rewritten.
Another story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution addresses Vick's intent to hit the ground running as he prepares to get back in football shape as quickly as possible after nearly two years in prison.
Clark Judge of cbssportsline.com figures Vick will be playing football this season, but in the new UFL instead of the NFL.
Former NFL offensive lineman Ross Tucker writes on sportsillustrated.com that one thing teams won't need to worry about is Vick being a locker-room distraction if he's signed because pro athletes are a forgiving group.
And News Tribune columnist Dave Boling checks in with what appears to be the clearest consensus among NFL observers as well as Seahawks fans, saying Vick deserves a chance, just not here.
