The east coast offers lovely sandy beaches, including the lively resort of Great Yarmouth (10 miles), and the quieter beaches at Winterton and Sea Palling.

A prime holiday area with attractions for all tastes, fantastic coastline with excellent sandy beaches. The broads national park - wonderful for lovers of wildlife, fishing and boating. The City of Norwich - a great shopping centre and a historic city with much to see and do. Great nightlife too!

"Brilliant for a large group of all ages - felt like home!"
Great service, warm welcome from hosts who were always available if needed. Property was very clean and homely with adequate space and good equipment. Grounds were beautiful, swimming pool and hot tub a definite bonus and were very clean. Ping pong table got loads of use, as did the children's climbing frame. Good location, although a little road noise - transport is essential if you wish to venture out. Good walks close by at Burlingham Woodland Walks. A fabulous time had by all, we had an extra two family members stopping in the b & b room adjoining the property - which was very convenient. A great place for people of all ages.
"Great place for all the family & dog"
We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house had everything you could need, the surrounding gardens were lovely and the children loved the swimming pool. The hot tub was great and was used every day.
"Fantastic accommodation with every need catered for."
This is a great house set in beautiful grounds. It was really clean and had everything we needed. Everything was really clean and the owners were very helpful. We had age ranges from 7 to 60 and all were catered for. The size s fine for a party of 10. I would holy recommend it.
"Fantastic time at Garden Lodge, Spotless,all facilities and grounds Excellent"
An age range of 4 months to 65 years for a family celebration. The play area, the grounds,the maze, the swimming pool and the hot tub were all great favourites. The lodge's decor throughout is as shown on the website was excellent. We hope to return sometime in the future.
"Perfect Holiday Accommodation"
We absolutely loved our stay here. Very spacious and clean, lovely decor - a luxury home from home feel! The gardens were excellent for the children to run around in, very safe and beautifully kept. The swimming pool is fantastic and we loved sitting in the hot tub under the stars in the evening whilst the children were safely sleeping inside. The accommodation is in a perfect location to get to the broads, Norwich and Great Yarmouth, quickly and easily. Andy and Rachel, the owners, are extremely helpful and friendly. Whether visiting for a weekend, week or longer, you will love it here!
"The perfect break in beautiful surroundings"
We stayed here as we were going to a wedding nearby. What a place! Swimming pool, hot tub, play area for the kids, beautiful gardens, what more could you want? The accommodation itself has been done to a magnificent standard. Very light and airy, modern & clean. There is more than enough sleeping capacity for large groups and the living space is big enough to cope too. Friendly hosts, great weather and a truly beautiful place made this the perfect break and is one holiday I will definitely remember.
"Lovely house, very accomodating!! would stay here again"
We stayed here for our late family Christmas. Ages ranged from 24 to 63, we all felt that there was more than enough to do. All of us enjoyed the use of the hot tub!! We made the most of our stay and went in to Norwich City Centre on Saturday to do shopping and on Sunday we took a long walk around the surrounding area. We had a lot of snow during our stay but this didn't limit us to what we could do, we just wrapped up warm and embraced it. All the facilities and amenities were available at Garden Lodge, it was very much like home from home. When we arrived the house was spotless!! I would say we had just two minor criticisms: • Bath towels provided weren't the biggest (they didn't fit round a lot of our party) • No dial information on the oven, so everything was done by guess work (could do with a detailed laminate on the wall, detailing what each dial is and where the temperature is) Other than that we would HIGHLY recommend Garden Lodge to everyone!!
"Great accomodation, hot tub, garden and table tennis table."
We stayed for a stag weekend and had a great time relaxing and hanging out in the accomodation. High quality finish throughout, hot tub was great to end the days with. Huge garden and some pretty competitive table tennis games when the weather wasn't great. Pool looks like it would be great in the summer. Close to the broads. Prompt and friendly service from owners.
"Great Weekend"
Wow what a great house, clean, spacious and lovely grounds. Enjoyed the hot tub in the rain! Enough bathrooms for everyone. Would definitely return, hopefully on a sunnier weekend.
"Hen Weekend relaxation"
The Lodge was the first one I saw and knew it was an instant winner! There was 10 of us and it didnt disappoint. Even with all 10 of us it did not feel crowded. The hot tub and pool were fantastic. As a base to get into Norwich and to the coast it is perfect. The only downside was the noisy road behind the trees in the garden. But being out and about all day it did not matter. And you could not hear it when you closed the windows and doors. Having said that I would recommend this property.

text: A Horse Called Horse - Lost Letter by A Horse Called Horse published on 2011-08-04T01:04:09Z This is a complete remake of an unfinished instrumental track we released way back called Nakushita Tegami (which is roughly translated lost letter in Japanese). It's now turned from an instrumental into a song and we wanted to share it with you. It's a song about being close and content with a loved one and the sadness of distance. We would really love to hear your feedback on this one. LYRICS: Lying here with you is the only place I ever want to be I need nothing else I wanna stay like this forever I feel so at peace I don't worry about the future Close your eyes and feel my warmth You are my only one forever You can hear my heart Can you feel what it is saying? hold me tight let's stay this way forever I don't want to move I want to keep you in my arms I feel so at peace Don't worry about the future I wrote a letter for you I wrote a letter to you I wish that you could read it I wish that you were near me I wrote a letter for you I wrote a letter for you I wish that you could hear me I wish t Genre Chilled Funk Comment by Taco Land so fine! 2012/08/19 01:54:30 +0000 Comment by Muirs dope.... 2012/07/23 23:22:03 +0000 Comment by A Horse Called Horse @brandonjackson-11: Thanks mate! 2012/06/15 21:30:17 +0000 Comment by Beautiful Sasquatch all of your drum tracks are top notch. yet another great song 2012/06/15 19:25:48 +0000 Comment by Shadowfinder The intro is amazing 2012/02/07 11:56:17 +0000 Comment by Octavia.R.M.V can u please check out my music n if u lik it can u please follow me 2012/02/06 02:04:33 +0000 Comment by Post Breakup you have a great sound I like 2012/01/25 16:18:04 +0000 Comment by North American thouroughly enjoyed this! golden track! 2012/01/24 20:17:12 +0000 Comment by balam(FredWhite) Nice.

When news broke on 1 April that Somali pirates attacked a U.S. warship in the Indian Ocean, I first thought it was an April Fool's joke because certainly even pirates weren't that stupid. However, reports of an attack on a Dutch warship in March and two more on French warships in 2009 told me it was not a hoax.

Mahmoud Darwish
Mahmoud Darwish Poems
I Come From There
I come from there and I have memories
Born as mortals are, I have a mother
And a house with many windows,
I have brothers, friends,
And a prison cell with a cold window.
Mine is the wave, snatched by sea-gulls,
I have my own view,
And an extra blade of grass.
Mine is the moon at the far edge of the words,
And the bounty of birds,
And the immortal olive tree.
I walked this land before the swords
Turned its living body into a laden table.
I come from there. I render the sky unto her mother
When the sky weeps for her mother.
And I weep ...
Identity Card
Write down !
I am an Arab
And my identity card number is fifty thousand
I have eight children
And the ninth will come after a summer
Will you be angry?
Write down!

Selecting the right pressure washer for your needs is essential if you want to achieve a balance between cost and efficiency.
It's no use buying a pressure washer that is too small for the job if you want to save money. Similiarly buying a pressure washer that is too big, or with accessories that you don't need, can cost you more money than it should.
You also want a flexible pressure washer which can complete different types of job from using a soft spray on cars and caravans to hard jet sprays that removes build-up dirt and grime from hard to reach places.
Pressurewasher-reviews.co.uk has reviewed the following pressure washers to make your buying selection much easier.
Pressure Washer Reviews
Electric Pressure Washers
- Bosch AQT 35-12
- Karcher K2 Compact Air Cooled
- Karcher K2 Compact Home
- Karcher K4 Home
- Karcher K4 Premium Eco Home
- Karcher K7 Premium Eco Home
- Nilfisk C110 4-5pc Extra
Petrol Pressure Washers
You may also like to compare the Karcher K2 Compact against the Nilfisk C110 which you can do by reading this comparison article.
If you want to know exactly what to look for when buying a pressure washer then read our Pressure Washer Guide first.
The most popular pressure washer brand is Karcher and rightly so as the company produces some very good machines. In fact there is a Karcher dealer on our street so we have been able to physically test each model. This sets Pressurewasher-reviews apart from the typical review site who only gets their information from the internet without even looking at the product in real life.
Other great pressure washer brands include Bosch, Briggs & Stratton, RAC, Stihl, Black & Decker and Draper all of which can be found in the UK. We will attempt to test each of these brands individually and when we do we will provide a full report on each brand and model.

Can HR Strategy Fix Online Recruiting?
When working on strategy it's good to stop from time to time and assess whether our processes are actually helping at the front line. One of the most basic HR challenges day to day is still recruiting.
Putting it online, or at least the resume gathering pieces, seemed to offer a tremendous timesaving and benefits for both recruiters and applicants. But how much of that has really panned out? We constantly hear complaints from candidates about poor practices. When coaching job seekers it's routine to caution them not to waste much time filling in online applications. Their experience is they never hear anything back, not even a confirmation of receipt.
On the company end, things aren't working a whole lot better. This article about Zappos' continuing innovations coincidentally tells the story succinctly. Even with basic online recruiting tools, sorting through 31,000 applications for 450 jobs is no picnic, maybe not even feasible. From the candidates' side we can hope those who took the time to fill out an online application at least got an electronic acknowledgment. Experience shows most companies don't even do that. In Zappos' case we can see why thousands would want to be offered a job considering Zappos will give them several thousand dollars to quit in the first few weeks. What seemed like a good, innovative hiring move on Zappos' part may have inadvertently helped torpedo their online recruiting.
You don't have to look far to find people bemoaning the lack of courtesy and feedback the typical online application process provides candidates. Many online systems waste gobs of applicants' time because they can't properly read or interpret what's pasted in or uploaded in resume form. As noted in the article corrections can take more time than simply typing everything in, either way very time consuming processes. Applying this way to more than a few jobs online takes so much time away from the job search process most of us recommend against doing any more than the most applicable job postings. Still that doesn't stop thousands from gambling. For many it feels easier than networking, but their results are generally poor. Perhaps effective networkers should be grateful that so many are kept from the networking scene by this time wasting activity.
No matter how often I've recommended to recruiting departments they should at least implement confirmations so people will know their applications have been received, few have done that. You can see from the second link these aren't the only complaints that turn off good candidates. One key element of ensuring strategy is effective is to actually participate in its application oneself. You have to wonder how many recruiters have actually tried applying for positions at their own organizations. I found it generally takes only one such experience to turn me off, so I'm sure that a lot of research isn't required to properly test one's own system.
Applicants put so much time into filling forms it's frustrating to see that not only do few get an automated acknowledgement their material was received, but there is nothing after that in virtually all cases. At the very least systems could report things like – "the job is now filled with an outside (or inside, as many suspect) applicant chosen from among xy-thousand applicants" and "your information will be compared against other job vacancies that may arise in the next six months" or whatever. Presuming many companies see no value in even such general reports, they should consider how many people they are annoying by not providing them. With such bare bones information applicants might understand better and not clutter future postings with highly irrelevant attempts. At least they'd be less tempted to think the posting was simply a fishing scam to begin with.
Every HR process needs to be tested for user friendliness before and during its application. To do otherwise is to invite the criticism of HR that we see so frequently. It's true some of this was worsened by the recent great recession and cost cutting that most companies did, but it's foolish to blame that and assume great candidates will recognize that and forgive us. As recruiting once again becomes more and more competitive, it's time to rethink.
A big part of effective strategy is getting the implementation correct. The greatest strategies in the world are useless or worse if people won't participate or get turned off by them. Part of the growing trend to collaboration has to be to collaborate with potential new hires by providing them with the best experience during all parts of the hiring process.
This sounds like a small point in some respects. Perhaps Zappos doesn't need to care about 30,000 of the 31,000 applicants. I'm not sure the alternative process they are suggesting will work better without knowing more details, but it also sounds like a lot of work for candidates with dubious results likely. Small point or not, it's an area where many organizations still have a lot of important work required.

Dennis Kramb from Cincinnati wrote that he couldn't understand the difference
in bloom time between his place and ours here in Louisville. It has been our
experience that micro-climates can make a big difference even within a few

because it usually blooms on April 15th. I called him today and he was
surprised that ours is blooming -- his is not. He lives in the city and we

The Last of the Mohicansby James Fenimore Cooper
A massacre at a colonial garrison, the kidnapping of two pioneer sisters by Iroquois tribesmen, the treachery of a renegade brave, and the ambush of innocent settlers create an unforgettable picture of American frontier life in this imaginative, innovative, and classic eighteenth-century adventure--the most popular of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales.<

The Last of the Mohicans based on 0 ratings. 110 reviews.
Well, I must be the bearer of bad news here: the back cover of the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of this novel leads readers astray. It mentions "death-defying chases and teeth-clenching suspense," but let me tell you, there's nothing teeth-clenching about this book. I've never liked Cooper's writing, so I may come off as a little harsh, but the plot is average at best and even painfully predictable at times. Granted, plot isn't everything, but this novel does not possess many qualities that redeem the floundering plot. Cooper writes rather coldly, and his characters, with the possible exception of Hawk-eye, are extremely flat and even unlikable, which does not work well for this kind of story. I must give Cooper credit for his exquisite descriptions, especially of the vast frontier wilderness, but unfortunately for Cooper, description alone doesn't make a good book. I'd like to read The Last of the Mohicans again, just to make sure I didn't miss some revelation the first time around, but when the book cover is better than the story, you know something's wrong.
Lest its importance be lost, let me praise at once the Barnes and Noble Classics edition of THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS for its bit more than one page long essay -- 431f-- after the end notes -- called 'INSPIRED BY THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.' By Stephen Railton, 'INSPIRED' lists and describes notable cinema inspired by Cooper's masterpiece. They begin with D. W. Griffith's 1909 one reeler, LEATHER STOCKING and move along through the 1920 Maurice Tourneur version with Wallace Beery as the satanic Magua and 1924 and 1936 versions by director George B. Seitz, the last starring Randolph Scott 'in perhaps the performance of his career.' Michael Mann's Oscar- winning 1992 THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS is great fun but bears very little resemblance to Cooper's original. *** The last words of this great novel give a sense of what the point of the yarn is. They are solemn remarks by ancient chief Tamenund, well over a century old, whose name is also preserved as Tammany and in 'Tammany Hall.' He concludes thus the funeral rites for Cora and Uncas: 'It is enough,' he said. 'Go, children, of the Lenape, the anger of Manitou is not done. ... The pale-faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red-men has not yet come again. The day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of Unamis [turtles, totem, i.e., of Delawares of the eastern seaboard] happy and strong and yet, before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans.' 'Ch XXXIII' *** This book is probably too leisurely for children or even college students who are not English majors. Read it for a sad meditation on why American Indians and European whites never found a way to live together as equals and form an entirely new North American civilization -- much as the Normans had done in Saxon England. Fenimore Cooper makes much of white prejudices against interracial marriages. That Scottish Cora could love and be loved by the last Mohican Indian, gorgeous young Uncas, was thinkable to Cooper's readers only because far back in time she had had a West Indian granddam of color. *** Cooper also notes that the massacre of surrendered troops of Fort William Henry by Indian allies of the French was the second such incident to blot the copy book of the Marquis de Montcalm. *** A final historical suggestion by Cooper is that the Indians could have made themselves as much junior partners of the colonials as the savage Highlanders of Scotland eventually became of Scottish lowlanders and the vastly more numerous English. But the Indians could not unite. They spent too much time killing and raiding other Indians to resist the all-conquering European whites. --- -OOO-
The Last of the Mohicans was an interesting and very detailed portrayal of a small group in the middle of the French and Indian War. I liked it a lot and would like to read more of James Fenimore Cooper¿s novels sometime. I know that many people enjoyed the movie, but to get the whole picture, you really need to read the book. The movie is great, I agree, but I just liked to book better (then again, when is it that you ever like a movie more than the book?). Though not my favourite classic, it is still an amazing book, very worthy of anyone¿s reading time.
Twain was right about Fenimore....but i still need to read all the classics i blew off or didn't finish in HS
James Fenimore Cooper's novel, The last of the Mohincans, tells the story of the colonial scout Hawkeye, real name Natty Bumppo, with his 2 Indian companions Changachgook (his Mohican father) and his mohican brother Uncas. They stumble onto a party of British soldiers conducting 2 fair maidens (names Alice and Cora) traveling to their father Colonel Munro, who is the commander of the British Fort William Henry during the French and Indian War. They are being treacherously lead by a huron scout Magua who intends to hurt the 2 girls in order to get to their father the Colonel. I thought that The Last of the Mohicans was a very interesting piece of work. The book has a compelling story and great characters. Any one that is interested in historical fiction should read this book. The aouther tells this story in chronological order and in third person. He was very descriptive and precise in writing this novel. It is filled with action and adventure. It has a heart felt story with a sad, but meaningful conclusion that is poignant and well thought out. It gives you a sence of guilt to anyone that is from a British/ French heritage. It makes you realize what is the real goal of English or French society, putting risk on lives and ancient cultural heritage of the Native American people? Or have a few extra acres of land? I think that anyone who loves reading and have a plot that makes their mind work a little, would have the privelege of reading this book.
This Book took me a long time to finish. It is a good story and should be read. But it is really slow going, and i found that parts of it are boring. if you have trouble getting through books you shouldnt read it.
Huge fan of the movie but I must say it was hard to finish this book. I tried to put myself in the mindset of the time it was written, but the book was simply just too boring. Explanations and events in the story were excruciatingly too drawn out and the dialogue was ridiculous in a lot of parts.
This book contains The Last Of The Mohicans and The Prarie and technically I only finished The Last Of The Mohicans, but it's a novel in itself so it counts. Anyhoo, I loved the book. Once you get past the nineteenth century prose, it's really a great story. It's a story of adventure and friendship, loyalty and revenge, of newly made bonds and loss. This book is a hard read and quite frankly I'm shocked that it took me just under a week to get through it. The language--the prose is not for everyone. But I can see why this book has remained a favorite classic for well over a hundred years. I'm looking forward to tackling the rest of the Leatherstocking Tales...at a later date. For those who are fans of the Michael Mann movie version of this story(of which I am one), this book is nothing like the film. Though it will always be on my top ten list of favorite movies, having read the book, I'm a bit perturbed at the changes Mann and the script writers made to the story. Clearly we all know the book is always better than the movie, and that some things must be omitted due to the timing and flow of a film. However, there were some changes that I think were unnecessary and I would like to have seen them on film. They really downplayed Chingachgook and Uncas' roles in the adventure, their relationship with each other and Hawkeye, and their status among the Indian people. Also they downplayed Duncan who wasn't really a douche in the novel as he was in the film. The love interests were portrayed all wrong, and frankly the movie was more of a love story than that of an adventure. Whereas the novel was move adventure and only vague mentions of romance. I've never seen any of the other versions of the film and have to wonder if they were more true to the novel. I suppose I mentioned this to warn anyone against reading this hoping it'll be a more fleshed-out version of the film. While the overall story basically remains the same, the journey, battles, rescues and some deaths are completely different. But to those who are lovers over books, classics, or true stories of adventure and virtue, this is a must-read!

Some further precepts are here given concerning the passover, as it should be observed in times to come.
I. All the congregation of Israel must keep it, Exod. 12:47. All that share in God's mercies should join in thankful praises for them. Though it was observed in families apart, yet it is looked upon as the act of the whole congregation; for the smaller communities constituted the greater. The New-Testament passover, the Lord's supper, ought not to be neglected by any who are capable of celebrating it. He is unworthy the name of an Israelite that can contentedly neglect the commemoration of so great a deliverance. 1. No stranger that was uncircumcised might be admitted to eat of it, Exod. 12:43, 45, 48. None might sit at the table but those that came in by the door; nor may any now approach to the improving ordinance of the Lord's supper who have not first submitted to the initiating ordinance of baptism. We must be born again by the word ere we can be nourished by it. Nor shall any partake of the benefit of Christ's sacrifice, or feast upon it, who are not first circumcised in heart, Col. 2:11. 2. Any stranger that was circumcised might be welcome to eat of the passover, even servants, Exod. 12:44. If, by circumcision, they would make themselves debtors to the law in its burdens, they were welcome to share in the joy of its solemn feasts, and not otherwise. Only it is intimated (Exod. 12:48) that those who were masters of families must not only be circumcised themselves, but have all their males circumcised too. If in sincerity, and with that zeal which the thing required and deserves, we give up ourselves to God, we shall, with ourselves, give up all we have to him, and do our utmost that all ours may be his too. Here is an early indication of favour to the poor Gentiles, that the stranger, if circumcised, stands upon the same level with the home-born Israelite. One law for both, Exod. 12:49. This was a mortification to the Jews, and taught them that it was their dedication to God, not their descent from Abraham, that entitled them to their privileges. A sincere proselyte was as welcome to the passover as a native Israelite, Isa. 56:6, 7.
II. In one house shall it be eaten (Exod. 12:46), for good-fellowship sake, that they might rejoice together, and edify one another in the eating of it. None of it must be carried to another place, nor left to another time; for God would not have them so taken up with care about their departure as to be indisposed to take the comfort of it, but to leave Egypt, and enter upon a wilderness, with cheerfulness, and, in token of that, to eat a good hearty meal. The papists' carrying their consecrated host from house to house is not only superstitious in itself, but contrary to this typical law of the passover, which directed that no part of the lamb should be carried abroad.
The chapter concludes with a repetition of the whole matter, that the children of Israel did as they were bidden, and God did for them as he promised (Exod. 12:50, 51); for he will certainly be the author of salvation to those that obey him.

From the author's monthly Scientific American columns.
An eclectic, inspiring collection exploring a broad range of scientific thought from best-selling author and celebrated skeptic Michael Shermer.
In Skeptic, Shermer "turns a critical eye toward questions big, small, and trivial" (Kirkus). His trademark combination of deep scientific understanding and entertaining writing style has thrilled his huge and devoted audience for years. Now, 75 of these columns are available together for the first time, taking on a wide range of subjects, from psychology and human nature to religion and pseudoscience. A welcome addition for his fans and a stimulating introduction for new listeners. Skeptic is a must-listen collection from one of our leading science commentators.
©2016 Michael Shermer (P)2016 Michael Shermer
"Michael Shermer is a beacon of reason in an ocean of irrationality." (Neil deGrasse Tyson)
"Dense with facts, convincing arguments, and curious statistics, this is an ingenious collection of light entertainment for readers who believe that explaining stuff is a good idea." (Kirkus)
"nice overview"
For a fairly short audio it had a good amount of stuff packed in it.
"Shermer does it again! "
Pithy and thought provoking. Great stuff. From one of your UK fans. Visit us soon Michael.
"Mostly for Those Already in the Choir"
It's worth reading/listening to. A couple surprises for me, but otherwise not sure if it contains a ton of stuff that's not already disseminated elsewhere (though I probably over-estimate what I think I was familiar with beforehand). It's thoughtful, and reinforcing, and anticipates, and addresses any perception of imbalance that may come up from critics. Even for the arguments I am familiar with, it's worth the listen just to hear people that are better, and more practiced in articulating the arguments do so.
"Pure stream of logic and reason"
Great collection of little essays, showing the way of scientific and skeptical thinking, and common mind traps which one should consider
"Trite and often dull."
I could only make it about 1/2 way through this collection of essays and there were very few moments that I wasn't wondering when there would be an interesting one. Then -possibly during the confirmation bias essay, it doesn't really matter- I realized the reason that these boring words about interesting subjects come out so boring because each of these are confirmation bias pieces. To be fair, this is more a reflection of the short print media that they were written for rather than the author and I do think I'd buy or listed to something else by Mr. Shermer.

I'm currently treating the cpio archive as one big file, and you're probably right -- treating it a file system may yield better results. I'll add it to my todo list. Right now I'm working on a proof-of-concept prototype: A proxy webserver (or FTP server) running locally (on the client or on the client's LAN) which will pretend to be a full repository. In reality it will be trying to serve as many requests as possible by downloading deltas and applying them to locally stored RPMs from the original distribution. Naturally it will cache anything that's downloaded also. My design criteria are: 1. No modification to the existing software (yum, up2date etc) 2. Delta repository must be automatically built and maintained 3. Delta repository must be nothing more than a FTP/HTTP server Because of #2 and #3 I'm going to keep things as simple as possible for the moment. Joe.

In this study, the representation of taste in the orbitofrontal cortex was investigated to determine whether or not a pleasant and an aversive taste have distinct or overlapping representations in this region. The pleasant stimulus used was sweet taste (1 M glucose), and the unpleasant stimulus was salt taste (0.1 M NaCl). We used an on/off block design in a 3T fMRI scanner with a tasteless solution delivered in the offperiod to control for somatosensory or swallowing-related effects. It was found that parts of the orbitofrontal cortex were activated (P < 0.005 corrected) by glucose (in 6/7 subjects) and by salt (in 6/7 subjects). In the group analysis, separate areas of the orbitofrontal cortex were found to be activated by pleasant and aversive tastes. The involvement of the amygdala in the representation of pleasant as well as aversive tastes was also investigated. The amygdala was activated (region of interest analysis, P< 0.025 corrected) by the pleasant taste of glucose (5/7 subjects) as well as by the aversive taste of salt (4/7 subjects). Activation by both stimuli was also found in the frontal opercular/insular (primary) taste cortex. We conclude that the orbitofrontal cortex is involved in processing tastes that have both positive and negative affective valence and that different areas of the orbitofrontal cortex may be activated by pleasant and unpleasant tastes. We also conclude that the amygdala is activated not only by an affectively unpleasant taste, but also by a taste that is affectively pleasant, thus providing evidence that the amygdala is involved in effects produced by positively affective as well as by negatively affective stimuli.
The aims of this study are to investigate the representation of taste in the human brain and in particular to compare and contrast the representations of a pleasant and an aversive taste. The study of the affective representation of taste is important as a means of advancing our understanding of the neural mechanisms for the regulation of food intake as well as the mechanisms underlying emotional processing in the brain (Rolls 1999). Particular issues of interest are whether areas of the human brain such as the insula, orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala implicated in taste are activated by both a pleasant and an aversive taste, or whether in contrast there is some specialization of different brain regions. If particular areas are activated by both pleasant and unpleasant tastes, it is then of interest to investigate whether the regions activated show topological separation.
Experimental investigations in macaques have shown that there is a primary taste cortical region in the anterior insula and adjoining frontal operculum, with a taste area in the orbitofrontal cortex that receives from this, and that is therefore defined as the secondary taste cortex (Baylis et al. 1994; Rolls 1997; Rolls et al. 1990; Scott et al. 1986). Neurons in this orbitofrontal secondary taste cortex region have been found to be modulated by the motivational state of the animal, responding to the sight or taste of food when the animal is hungry and not responding when the animal is satiated (Rolls et al. 1989). Furthermore, electrical stimulation of this brain region is rewarding when the animal is hungry and the reward value (as shown by whether the monkey will work for the stimulation) decreases as the animal is fed to satiety (Mora et al. 1979). These results suggest that the orbitofrontal cortex is involved in representing the affective aspects of taste in nonhuman primates. In addition, lesion studies and neuroimaging studies in humans have implicated the human orbitofrontal cortex in affective processing (Bechara et al. 1994; Elliot et al. 2000;Francis et al. 1999; Rolls et al. 1994). Consequently, it is suggested that the human orbitofrontal cortex is one region in which the affective aspects of taste are represented.
Previous neuro-imaging studies of the representation of taste in the human brain have found cortical areas activated to taste such as the frontal operculum/insula and the orbitofrontal cortex (Francis et al. 1999; Small et al. 1997,1999; Zald et al. 1998). With the exception of Zald et al. (1998), the representations of pleasant and aversive tastes have not been compared within the same subject group. In the study by Zald et al. using positron emission tomography (PET), it was found that a region of the left orbitofrontal cortex was activated by aversive taste (salt solution). However, the interpretation of that study was complicated by the lack of consistent activation of the orbitofrontal cortex or other brain areas such as the amygdala by the pleasant stimulus used (solid chocolate). This may have been due to the fact that water was used as the control stimulus, a substance that itself has a taste and is known to activate neurons in the primate insular and orbitofrontal taste cortices (Rolls et al. 1990; Yaxley et al. 1990). Further,Zald et al. (1998) acknowledge that water is a positive reinforcer in its own right, so that it could have obscured activation to the pleasant stimulus in a subtraction paradigm. Also, that study was not designed to measure the effects of pleasant taste, in that the positive stimulus used, chocolate, has taste, olfactory, and texture components.
The primate amygdala also receives gustatory inputs that activate single neurons (Sanghera et al. 1979; Scott et al. 1993). Moreover, it is of potential interest as an area containing an affect-related representation of taste, as its function in fear conditioning and thus in negative affect has been emphasized (LeDoux 1992). Indeed, many imaging studies of emotion reviewed by Davidson and Irwin (1999) have found amygdala activation related to negative affect. Further, there is evidence that patients with amygdala lesions have difficulties with identifying negative face expressions (Adolphs et al. 1994), and with aversive conditioning (LaBar et al. 1995). However, a few imaging studies have also found amygdala activation to affectively positive stimuli (Breiter et al. 1996; Schneider et al. 1997) and the amygdala has also been implicated in memory encoding of affectively positive as well as affectively negative events (Hamann et al. 1999). Another way to obtain evidence on the role of the human amygdala in affect is to measure its activation to tastes with different affective value. In the study by Zald et al. (1998), activation of the human amygdala was found to aversive saline, but there was no consistent activation to the pleasant chocolate stimulus, perhaps due to the reasons outlined above. However, in neurophysiological recordings made in nonhuman primates, amygdala neurons have been found that respond to rewarding tastes (such as glucose), while other neurons respond to other tastes, such as salt or sour (Scott et al. 1993). This raises the possibility that the amygdala is not only involved in processing affectively negative tastes, but also affectively positive taste. Indeed, testing whether the human amygdala is activated by affectively positive as well as by affectively negative tastes, as described here, is one way to obtain evidence on whether the human amygdala is involved only in negative emotions, or in both positive and negative emotions.
In this experiment, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate brain activation to pleasant and unpleasant tastes. The pleasant taste used in this study was sweet taste (1 M glucose), and the aversive taste salt (0.1 M NaCl). The neutral control stimulus used was designed to be a tasteless solution by being formulated to include the main ionic components present in saliva, and thus to overcome the pitfalls of using water alone as a control stimulus (see above). The aims of the study are to investigate whether the orbitofrontal cortex is activated by the pleasant and unpleasant tastes, and, if so, to show whether there is a functional anatomical separation between regions of orbitofrontal cortex involved in processing the two tastes, and to determine whether or not the amygdala can be activated by pleasant as well as by aversive tastes.
Seven healthy human subjects participated in this experiment. Imaging was conducted using a 3.0 Tesla fMRI scanner at the University of Nottingham. Ten coronal T2* weighted EPI (Echo-planar imaging) slices were acquired every 2 s with a slice thickness of 8 mm (TR = 2 s). The matrix size was 128 × 64. The following parameters were carefully selected to minimize susceptibility and distortion artifact in the orbitofrontal cortex. First, the data were acquired in a coronal rather than axial slicing direction, as this aligned the slices to be perpendicular to the predominant direction of the intrinsic susceptibility-induced field gradients, and helped to minimize through plane dephasing. Second, the in-plane voxel resolution was set to 3 mm by 3 mm, which results in less phase cancellation than would be produced by a lower voxel resolution. Third, a relatively low TE of 23 ms was selected to decrease the signal dropout, as less phase dispersion is created across the voxels. Fourth, each subject was individually shimmed using both linear and second-order shimming to minimize static field inhomogeneities in the orbitofrontal cortex. Finally, geometric distortion was minimized by using a head insert gradient coil with very high gradient switching frequency of 1.9 kHz. The images were acquired beginning anteriorly at the orbitofrontal cortex (Talairach Y = +50) and moving posteriorly (to Y = −30) taking care to include the putative primary taste cortex (frontal operculum/insula). Anatomical localization was achieved by acquiring a multislice echo-planar dataset for each subject with isotropic 3-mm resolution using an inversion recovery (IR) sequence with the gray matter nulled (TI = 1,200 ms). Taste stimuli were delivered intra-orally by two polythene tubes held between the lips. The taste stimuli consisted of 1 M glucose, and 0.1 M NaCl. In the experiment, 0.5 ml of the taste stimulus (either glucose or saline) was delivered at the start of an 8-s on period. This was followed by 0.5 ml of a tasteless control solution (with the main ionic components of saliva consisting of 25 mM KCl and 2.5 mM NaHCO3) that was delivered at the start of an 8-s off period. Thisoff period thus enabled nontaste-related activations such as swallowing or somatosensory effects to be subtracted out in the subsequent analysis (the subject was instructed to move the stimulus around the tongue and swallow once during each period). This protocol was repeated 24 times. In five subjects each taste was delivered separately in two separate runs. For the two additional subjects, an interleaved design was employed whereby both taste stimuli and the control stimulus were applied together in one imaging run using the same on/off design but interleaving the application of the two taste stimuli. The subjects' subjective ratings of the pleasantness of the taste stimuli were also measured just before the imaging run using a rating scale ranging from +2 = very pleasant, 0 = neutral, −2 = very unpleasant, which has been validated in psychophysical experiments on the sensory factors that control food intake (O'Doherty et al. 2000;Rolls et al. 1981). The subjects were given practice in the use of the scale so that they knew the range of stimuli to be rated before the final ratings were taken.
Image analysis
The data were analyzed with MEDx (Sensor Systems). Motion correction [using automatic image registration (AIR)] (Woods et al. 1992), spatial smoothing (using a Guassian kernel with full width at half-maximum of 5 mm), intensity normalization (slice based ratio normalization), and temporal filtering (using a low-pass filter width of 2.8 s and a high pass filter set to twice the stimulus repetition period) were applied to the datasets. Significant changes of voxel intensity between each taste stimulus and the tasteless control condition were calculated by performing the following t-test comparisons using the standard Medx statistics and the appropriate time window given the hemodynamic response lags determined for this dataset as described previously (Francis et al. 1999): Glucose-Tasteless Control and Salt-Tasteless Control. To enable a single subject analysis, the thresholds in the resulting z-maps were then set atP < 0.005 (resel corrected) with a minimum cluster size of three contiguous voxels. For a more statistically sensitive analysis of activation in the region of the amygdala, a region of interest analysis (ROI) was also carried out, by defining two 84-voxel cubic ROIs centered on each amygdala within the medial temporal lobes, using the individual subjects' anatomical IR volume as a reference. The z-scores in the amygdala were then corrected for multiple comparisons (restricted to that region) at P< 0.025. The individual subjects' IR anatomical volumes were then registered to a standard high resolution (1 mm isotropic) anatomical volume, and the z-scores were rendered to that anatomical volume for better visualization. A group analysis was also carried out by setting the threshold for significance of the z-maps from each subject for each of the two conditions at P < 0.01 (uncorrected) and identifying those voxels that were commonly activated (after transformation into Talairach space) in a minimum of six of seven subjects in each condition. The group analysis enabled voxels that were commonly activated at a significance level ofP < 0.01 to be identified across subjects, and thus provided a measure of the reliability of the activation of particular voxels across subjects. Cluster sizes of <3 contiguous voxels in the group combined image were excluded from the analysis.
Pleasantness ratings
The average pleasantness rating (ranging from +2 = very pleasant, 0 = neutral, −2 = very unpleasant) for the Glucose condition, was +0.9 ± 0.49 (mean ± SE), whereas that for the Salt condition was −1.5 ± 0.16 (paired t = 4.93, df = 6, P < 0.003).
Orbitofrontal cortex
The single subject analysis showed that the orbitofrontal cortex was activated in six of seven subjects in the Glucose-Control condition and in six of seven subjects in the Salt-Control condition. Within each individual subject in the orbitofrontal cortex, different areas were activated by the Glucose and Salt tastes (the results from a single subject are presented in Fig. 1). The group analysis revealed common areas of activation across subjects in the orbitofrontal cortex for both glucose (pleasant) (Talairach coordinates: X = 38, Y = 40,Z = −10; X = 47, Y = 38, Z = −6; X = −28,Y = 36, Z = −7; X = 12, Y = 42, Z = −1) and salt (aversive) tastes (Talairach coordinates: X = 13,Y = 36, Z = −8; X = −18, Y = 39, Z = −7), and that the areas activated by each taste were nearby but showed little overlap (see Fig. 3). Taken together, the analyses show that there is some consistency of the areas activated across subjects, that the common area across subjects for glucose is separate from that for saline, and that in individual subjects the centers of mass of the activations were even further apart.
Insula and frontal operculum
The insula and frontal operculum were activated by the taste stimuli. The single subject analysis showed that the insula was activated in five subjects to glucose, and in three subjects to salt; the frontal operculum in five subjects to glucose, and three subjects to salt. The results for a single subject are shown in Fig.2. The common areas across subjects (as revealed by the group analysis) showed that a considerable anterior-posterior extent of the insula/operculum could be activated by taste stimuli (Fig. 3). Some regions showed overlap of the activations to glucose and salt (Talairach coordinates: X = 42, Y = 28,Z = 10; X = −48, Y = −5, Z = 0), while other regions were activated by glucose (Talairach coordinates: X = 46,Y = 11, Z = 17; X = 40,Y = 13, Z = −6; X = −33, Y = 17, Z = 2). Both the group analysis and the single subject analysis did not provide clear evidence for chemotopography (with respect to glucose vs. salt) in the insular/opercular taste cortical areas.
The ROI analysis showed that pleasant taste (glucose) activated the left amygdala in five of the seven subjects (average Talairach coordinates: X = −20, Y = −5,Z = −21). Activation was also found to the taste of glucose in the right amygdala in two of the seven subjects (Talairach coordinates: X = 25, Y = −4,Z = −24). Figure 4 shows not only the activations found in each subject, but also the median value of the activated voxels across subjects within the amygdala in the Glucose-Control condition. In the Salt-Control condition, the amygdala was significantly activated in four subjects in total, two subjects on the left side (Talairach coordinates: X = −24, Y = −5, Z = −21), and two subjects on the right (Talairach coordinates: X = 18,Y = −4, Z = −14).
Other areas
Activation was also found in the dorsal anterior cingulate (5 subjects to salt, 5 subjects to glucose). The Talairach coordinates of the areas with activation in the group analysis are shown in Table1.
The results from the single subject and the group analysis showed that the orbitofrontal cortex could be activated by sweet (pleasant) and salt (aversive) tastes. Moreover, the group analysis showed that the regions of the orbitofrontal cortex reliably activated across subjects by the sweet and salt tastes were adjacent. The separation between the two areas was more pronounced within individual subjects, as illustrated in Fig. 1. This is the first paper to investigate the effects of both pleasant and aversive taste stimuli (glucose and NaCl) against a tasteless control condition (as contrasted with previous studies that used substances such as citric acid or water that can activate neurons in the primate taste cortex) (Small et al. 1999) and thus provides clear evidence that pure gustatory stimuli (with nongustatory effects controlled for) activate the orbitofrontal cortex. We note that the sweet taste was rated as pleasant (+0.9) and the salt taste as aversive (−1.5). Thus we conclude that both a pleasant and an aversive taste are represented in the orbitofrontal cortex, and it follows, with respect to taste hedonics, that the orbitofrontal cortex is not concerned exclusively with the representation of only pleasant or aversive tastes. Although the two tastes were rated as pleasant or aversive, the study described here does not show directly that it is explicitly the hedonic value of the tastant that is represented in the orbitofrontal cortex. One way to address this issue would be to investigate the effects on the orbitofrontal cortex activation by glucose of feeding to satiety with glucose, which decreases the pleasantness of the taste of glucose but much less of its intensity (Rolls et al. 1983). However, we predict that this result would be found, because we have shown that in a nearby region of the orbitofrontal cortex the activation produced by a food odor is decreased by eating that food to satiety (O'Doherty et al. 2000). Given the results presented here for taste, it will be of interest to investigate further whether both pleasant and aversive stimuli in other modalities (including somatosensory, olfactory, and visual) can activate the human orbitofrontal cortex. Evidence on these issues is fundamental in understanding the functions of the human orbitofrontal cortex in emotion (Rolls 1999).
Another novel finding of this study is that the human amygdala can be activated by pleasant as well as by aversive tastes. The amygdala was activated in five of seven subjects in the pleasant taste condition, and in four of seven subjects in the unpleasant taste (salt) condition. These results provide new evidence to support the argument that the human amygdala is involved in pleasant as well as negative affect (Rolls 1999).
It is of interest that in humans the region of the insula and operculum that can be activated by taste does extend several millimeters back from the front of the operculum and insula. Although quite extensive, it is likely that this is the primary taste cortex of humans, with the orbitofrontal cortex containing the secondary taste cortex as in macaques (Baylis et al. 1994; cf. also Small et al. 1999). In previous neuroimaging studies of taste, activation has been reported over quite a wide region of the anterior insular/opercular (primary taste) cortex, but in most studies only one taste stimulus was used or comparisons were not made between the effects of different tastants (Small et al. 1999). In our study, in the group analysis, it was found that in some parts of the anterior insula and frontal operculum there was overlap between the sweet and salt taste representations, while in other regions only one of the tastes produced activation. We know that in the primate (macaque) primary taste cortex there is some intermingling of neurons responsive to sweet and salt tastes (Rolls 1997;Scott et al. 1986). The present findings in humans are consistent with this but at the same time suggest that further exploration of whether there is in addition some chemotopography would be important.
To conclude, this study has shown that the orbitofrontal cortex can be activated by taste stimuli that are affectively positive and affectively negative, and there is some indication that the areas activated by pleasant and aversive tastes are topographically separate. Further, it was shown that the human amygdala can be strongly activated by affectively positive stimuli (sweet taste) as well as by affectively negative stimuli (salt taste). These stimuli are known to be positive and negative primary reinforcers, and the findings help to provide a basis for understanding the functions of the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex in positive as well as negative emotions (see further Rolls 1999, 2000a,b).
