Davvy Asked For It
"Well, forget about that. I'm about an hour outside of Cleveland right now. Give me the directions to your house. It's time for you to pay me up!"
My Neighbor
While moving in over a 2-day period, I kept noticing this really humpy dude two doors down from my place. He would often be sitting in a chaise lounge, or lying on a blanket on the small strip of grass that runs between the backside of our building and a long, thickly vegetated wooden fence.
Cutting Expenses With an Incentive Compensation Plan for Cock and Ass
They get twice as much work as they pay us for now, and the whole point of a per diem expense allowance is to keep the book-keeping smile, Ken declared, verbally twisting my arm. He had a point. Hurst, however, was an entirely different matter. We'd both heard that before.
First Human Toilet
Sometimes I get really horny, like today, and I go trolling around the aol chat rooms. This one time a guy wanted me to shit in his mouth, which I agreed to do.
Gay Threeway On Freeway
Up in the high, flat country with the golden grass in the summer. It was hot, very hot, but I had my windows open enjoying my new state. At 70 half the traffic seemed to be passing me. I was heading to my sister's house for the weekend, and in no particular rush since I was three hours early.
Sucked Dry By The Boss's Son
It being one of "those" Monday's the last thing I needed was to find a memo in the middle of my desk from the boss. It seems that "little Markie" was going to be joining the staff for the summer, his first summer home from college. He also had a voice that changed octaves with every other word...
Science Fiction Story Horse Sense
His head was pounding, his arms and legs were sore and the wounds from fighting with Aranoble's guard still echoed over his chest, back and neck. It hadn't been a good night. Groaning, the young man sat up and rubbed his long expanse of soft, brown hair out of his eyes.
College Jock Fantasy
The 2 guys in this room are both jocks. Tall, lean hard bodies. I'm really horny and I hear 1 of the guys in the shower. I decide to hide in his closet so I can look out the slats in the door when he gets out of the shower and jerk off while he dresses. He comes into the room just as I hide in his closet.
Young 20yo Gay Chatroom Visitor Turns Out To Be Hunk That Fucks Me Hard
I saw a guy log on that I had talked on the phone with before. It went well, but then I had to go. So there was this sense of incompleteness, unfinished business, I did not want it to end without starting. He asked how I was. "Horny" was my reply. He seemed interested.

There are numerous famous examples of the use of ethnographic approaches that are hailed as great successes in the business scene. One of the best known might be the example of P&G's marketing in Mexico (Lafley and Charan 2008). [1] I describe here a Japanese company's 'success' using ethnography. The top junior sports shoes brand SYUNSOKU developed by Achilles Corporation was launched in May 2003 with the concept of 'delivering high performance on sports days'. The main feature of their shoes is asymmetrical soles with more spikes on the left side of the sole that bears the weight in track events, allowing the runner to maintain speed by gripping hard even on corners where speed tends to drop. Approximately six million pairs of these shoes are sold a year (Ikematsu 2011). It is said that the development of the shoes was based on long-term 'ethnographic observation' at sports day events held at primary schools, and the key to their success lay in their ethnographic approach which found hidden needs that customers themselves were unaware of.
However, at the time of the shoes launch in 2003, the term 'ethnography' was unheard of among Japanese corporations. This was prior to ethnography becoming popular in Japan. An article in a business magazine showed that they had been advertising to the public while linking their success with 'ethnography' which subsequently gained popularity in Japan. In other words, they sought to retrospectively fashion a narrative in which the success of their R&D was grounded in ethnography. According to their R&D team, 'they unconsciously exercised an ethnographic approach without knowing the term' (Ikematsu 2011).
The brochure of a marketing research company – where I conducted interviews with researchers in Tokyo – remarks that they offer ethnography as a repertoire of research since 2000. But as is made clear in my interview with two researchers of the company, it is only quite recently that they started to use the term 'ethnography'. Before, they employed the term 'jissa' (physical inspection) or 'home visit'. Now they call all on-site research projects which had been carried out for more than 15 years 'ethnography'.
Ethnography, which is said to be connected to anthropology, can be an authoritative source for advertising depending on the context. However, the social sciences (anthropology included) do indirectly affect business trends in Japan. The trends set by major firms overseas which use methodologies of social sciences directly affect Japanese firms. The Japanese business magazines immediately report and translate articles about the trends in the Euro-American sphere, with minimal time lag. An article titled 'Here's Why Companies Are Desperate to Hire Anthropologists' (Baer 2014) recounts that business researchers who have a Ph.D. in anthropology are hired and active in the business scene in Euro-America. Articles in this vein may well exert influence on the Japanese business trend.

12 ways to earn free Amazon Gift Cards with less work
Are you looking for a free Amazon gift card?
Amazon is one of the biggest companies in the world with a market capitalization of $402 billion, which makes it even bigger than Wal-Mart. That should give you how far the company has come since starting as an internet bookseller back in the mid-1990s.
Today, Amazon sells absolutely everything you would ever want, from smartphones and electronics to baby diapers and fashion accessories. Amazon is truly the A to Z store – anything you want, buy it from Amazon, for a great price.
Who doesn't love Amazon? Last year, the online retailer passed Walmart as the world's biggest retailer by market value. And for good reason. Not only can you find just about anything on the site, but you can also find it at a great price.
Plus, by joining Amazon Prime, you can ensure that absolutely anything you buy on the mega-store will be delivered to you within 48 hours, no matter where you are in the world.
Now, if you are a big supporter of Amazon, you will probably want to get stuff for free from the online store with free Amazon gift cards. We show you how to get access to a free Amazon gift card code. It's simple and it's easy. So, how to get free Amazon gift cards?
Here are some of our favorite ways to get Amazon gift card codes, without completing offers, and no survey….
(1) Amazon Trade-In
Do you have an old iPhone or an iPod which you don't use anymore? Is it in a perfect condition still? Why not make the most of it, instead of allowing it to gather dust in a closet? You can now convert your old electronics into something valuable using the Amazon Trade-In program. Not just old electronics, you can also trade in old textbooks, DVDs, and video games through this program and get free gift cards for them. So you can now get rid of the clutter and get paid for it as well. How cool is that!
(2) Junglee
You can now get Rs. 50 Amazon gift cards on the Indian e-commerce site owned by Amazon, Junglee , where you can sell or trade in your old electronics and other stuff. So all you need to do is to visit the Jungle website post a picture of your smartphone, which you want to sell, and submit the ad. In return, you will be sent a free Amazon gift code by email. This is one of the easiest ways to get such gift card codes.
Access Whatsapp without using your own phone number
(3) Bing
Another easy way to score Amazon gift codes with no surveys and without completing offers is to sign up for Bing Rewards. Just use Bing as your search engine and earn points every time you do a search. This will automatically add points to your account every time you perform a search. All you need to do is perform a certain number of searchers every month to win bonus points. The program is available for those aged 13 and above.
(4) Answer Surveys
Another easy way to get free Amazon gift card codes is to fill out online surveys. This can be a boring task, but it shouldn't take much time. Just be sure to visit the right survey site. Some of the legitimate survey sites that offer Amazon gift cards are Opinion Outpost, Toluna, SurveySpot and Harris Poll. You will find a list of all legit survey sites that offer gift card codes at Survey Police. Do have a look.
(5) MyPoints
MyPoints is another service where you will be able to earn free gift card codes for performing simple tasks such as reading emails, taking surveys, online shopping, watching videos and using coupons. Right now, they offer $10, $25 and $50 gift cards.
(6) Amazon Promotions
Always watch out of the best gift card promotions from Amazon. The company often comes out with offers such as "Spend $100, get a $50 gift card free" offers in specific categories such as "Health and Personal Care" and "Grocery". Just keep looking every time you are on amazon.com and swoop to make the purchase.
(7) Credit Card Rewards
There are many credit card companies that offer free Amazon cards as a reward for paying off your credit card bills on time each month. There is this Amazon.com Visa card program for example where you will earn points for every dollar spent at the store, $2 for every dollar spent at restaurants, gas stations, and drug stores. And $1 for every dollar spent elsewhere. So once you earn up to 2,500 points, you can get a nifty Amazon gift card worth $25!
(8) Swagbucks
Swagbucks is a unique site where you will earn points for filling out online surveys, shopping online, searching for things on the internet, watching videos online and redeeming grocery coupons, to name just a few. When you earn a sufficient number of points, you will be able to get free Amazon gift card codes for them.
(9) Amazon Mechanical Turk
Amazon's Mechanical Turk program is a great way to get paid for doing simple, but repetitive tasks such as data entry, proofreading or transcribing audio files. Every time you earn something on Mechanical Turk, you can have your earnings converted into free Amazon cards or deposited into a US bank account. Now, if you don't have a US bank account, that's okay, you will be given free Amazon codes instead.
Create your own blog on WordPress & start making money online
(10) Ipsos i-Say
Ipsos is a popular online community where you will be rewarded for taking surveys, sharing your opinion with other members, and participating in various contests. You can earn points every time you do something on the site through the i-Say program. The points you earn here can be redeemed for various rewards, including free gift card codes from Amazon. So if you want to get a gift card, you will need to rack up 500 points on the Ipsos community.
(11) InstaGC
InstaGC is an online survey site where you can quickly earn gift cards from Amazon by taking surveys and participating in various contests. There are 14 denominations of gift card codes on the site, so take your pick from them. The best part is you are given the gift codes immediately, you don't need to wait too long for it – which is a common complaint people make with other sites.

I'm not sure how the system works now, but when I was in university, I was not eligible for student loans until my last year of university, due to my parents' income and RRSPs (my dad was already retired when I started university). If it wasn't for my parent's much appreciated help, I would not have been able to attend university, at least not for several years after high school.ReplyDelete
I know someone who went to university in the '70s. She said at that time it was possible to work a summer job and then pay for a full year of university. Obviously, those days are gone. I agree parents should think twice before cutting their kids' off completely from university funds. I'd suggest they help out as much as they are financially able. Otherwise, no complaining when junior says, "Hey dad, guess what? I'm spending next year in Thailand instead of going to school."
Wow, you guys are ON IT. I'm still waiting to get through the last few weeks of kindergarten. That said, yeah, help out your kids if you can. Isn't that generally what we want to do as parents? Gah. I do think it's reasonable to say I'll pay for your tuition if you live at home and go to school here, but if you want to go elsewhere you're going to have to pick up the rest of that tab.ReplyDelete
@Anon - I also heard stories of the halcyon days of never having to pay student loans back, because the gov't never followed up. That, I believe fell squarely on our shoulders. So glad the boomers managed to dodge that bullet. :sReplyDelete
I paid for what post-secondary education I managed to get out of bed for, and I absolutely felt my parents had no say in my decisions. I never shared my marks with them, and didn't even tell them when I flunked out. To this day I'm not sure they know I couldn't have gone back after second year if I'd wanted to.ReplyDelete
We will definitely pay for most if not all of our son's education - with the expectation that he will work hard and strive to do well.
We'll also expect him to work a part-time job in his later teen years so he can learn the value of money - and (we hope) the lack of appeal of the kind of jobs you can get without an education.
Great post, Karen.
I had to quit university halfway through my music degree since I was paying my way and the intensive practice schedule on top of my school work didn't leave any spare time to hold down a part-time job (which I needed to supplement my student loan income). I vowed then and there to pay my children's way if I could. I eventually went back to finish in another discipline but had to do is part-time while I worked which just strengthened my commitment to pay for my future kids if I could. Our son is 9 months old and we have already maxed out his 2011 and 2012 RESP allowance.ReplyDelete
We need to ramp up our savings, but completely expect to fund as much as we can of our kids' post-secondary education, within reason. If funding stays the same in our state, our kids would be eligible for tuition scholarships after a successful semester. Room and board still add up, and there's not really an option for our kids to stay at home for university, due to geography, so we'll be paying that at a minimum.ReplyDelete
With E's Asperger's, we're waiting to see what sort of support he'll need at the college level. There are some very pricey programs that help guide students through their education, but we're also considering having one parent move temporarily to be closer for at least the first couple years.
The very premise of "if they have to pay for it they'll take it more seriously" is so flawed. I knew plenty of people who frittered away 4 years of student loans and flunked out. Financial sensibility =\= good student.ReplyDelete
I agree that the logic is flawed - if they pay for it they'll take it more seriously.ReplyDelete
I paid for my own education, tuition, books, rent, etc. all of it. So, my parents had no say and I had no one to answer to. Yes, I did pretty well in school but I guarantee I would have done better if I felt that obligation to them. I was also hurt that they didn't even entertain the thought of helping me get an education and were perfectly fine with the idea of me taking on student loans (which yes are very tough to get).
My daughter is two and we have already started to save for her education. Will we have enough to pay for it all? Hard to say, that's a long ways off and there's nothing wrong with her earning some of that money herself but we will do our best to take as much of the burden off of her as possible so she doesn't have to work ridiculous hours while going to school (not saying she shouldn't work at all) and so she doesn't finish school with a huge debt.
In most matters, I belong to the "let them figure it out for themselves or they will never learn anything" camp, but I plan to pay for as much as my kids' school as I can afford. Since I have 4 kids it probably won't be every single expense and they will probably have to live at home. But I don't want them to waste their entire 20's trying to get an undergrad degree because they are trying to pay for it as they go. Life is short and a meaningful career is foundational to adult happiness. Nice blog post.ReplyDelete

school will be their job, and I will be their employer... genious yet simple line! I will use that in the future. Thank you for the articleReplyDelete
This article is spot on. I lived through student loans and know many that are still paying them back... It haunts you. And you are right... If you don't contribute you don't have a right to tell me I should go into engineering rather than fashion design or some other profession... If its my debt to incur then it's my decision how I use it! I love the idea of 1/2 upfront!ReplyDelete
I do believe that a piece of this discussion depends upon your economic class or ethnicity. Some of the former hold the value of, "I did it myself and you have to do so also". While others are, "we pool our resources as a family and pay for education and homes, etc.". The latter often have the "governor" of making the family proud to prevent what I call the "trust fund baby" trap.ReplyDelete
I grew up working class as did my husband. We are the first in our families to go to university and have professional designations as well. We'll definitely pay for the girl's post-secondary education and help out where we can. I think of it as a middle class version of Warren Buffett and his kids - they won't be handed everything but they will get a decent start.
My husband and I were both fortunate enough to have our parents pay for our education. Getting an education was a huge deal for my parents and they made it a priority to set aside enough to put four (!) kids through university, including both of my degrees. They were clear that they thought it was an investment in our future and that the reason why they did it was because they believed in us and they knew that we wouldn't take advantage of it. We supplemented their contribution by getting scholarships and holding down part-time jobs. And my parents were not wealthy by any means. They expect that we can get by on our own now, and they're right.ReplyDelete
I always felt like I had an obligation to them to do well exactly because it wasn't my money. If I didn't do well I had to answer to them. If I failed a class it was their money down the drain, not mine. Even now, when I changed career paths I asked my Mom if they were okay with it because they'd paid for my law degree.
We've started RESPs and pay as much as we can each month in order to max out the government grant portion. We want to give our kids the same head start our parents gave us.

I was lucky enough to have a grandfather and parents pay for my post secondary education. I worked during my summers - sometimes at 2 or 3 different jobs - to help supplement my parents' and grandfather's contribution. I am so grateful for their help. I saw how some of my friends' struggled with repaying loans after university, a struggle I never had to worry about.ReplyDelete
My husband didn't have help, but through scholarships and well-paying summer and part time jobs, managed to emerge from university debt free.
We've started RESPs for our two boys to help them when the time comes for them to go to university. My parents have also started RESPs for their grandchildren. The boys will be expected to contribute, but they won't have to bear the burden of student loans.
We are fortunate that we are in a financial position to help our boys. I realize that not all parents have that luxury. I believe that it's our responsibility to help them as much as we can.
Thanks for the post Karen.
We do RESP's, because we want the same for our kids as you do.ReplyDelete
Also? The government GIVES YOU FREE MONEY by matching your contributions (to a limit). It's silly NOT to take advantage of that.
We have RESP's for both kids and we put in the maximum that the government will match. It is a lot and more than most of my friends do. But my hubby has been in the workforce for 8 years and is still paying pretty big student loans. We live in a perfectly good townhouse, but we could probably afford a house if not for the student loans. My hubby doesn't want our kids to go through that. So we will do what we can for our kids.ReplyDelete
I will not be paying for my child's post secondary education.ReplyDelete
In my experience paying for it yourself does mean students take it more seriously. Student loans do *not* count as "paying yourself". Most students get into trouble with credit and loans (as frankly do many of their parents) precisely because it ISN'T their money. I won't be able to prevent my child from accessing credit but we will teach her to live within her means, budget and delay gratification. Hopefully that will be enough.
I don't believe that post secondary education is right or necessary for all kids. I hope this doesn't apply to my kid but if it does I won't pressure her into attending. It also means that if she can't afford to attend university and has to delay for a bit, I'm not going to treat her like she's a big failure. Besides - those who got the most out of my university classes were the mature students and DEFINITELY NOT the youngest teens.

Although the originator of a thread will have to classify it by Topic or Company, the same does not apply to comments on the thread. This is a particular problem on the SCVR with it's multiple Epics as comments are often made without a stock code which makes subsequent searching difficult if not impossible.

Would a company such as this not hedge their gold position? I have no idea how the business works in practice but on a group basis would it not be prudent to hedge the net intrinsic value of their stock? If so there would be no exposure to the price of gold.

How the Magic Made a 12-Point Lead Disappear
AFP/Getty Images
The Lakers' Derek Fisher celebrates the end-game strategy of his new second-favorite coach, Orlando's Stan Van Gundy.
The only way Orlando can win the NBA championship is by going on a three-game winning streak against a 65-win team. That's the Magic's tall order after blowing Game 4 of the NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers, 99-91, in overtime. After shooting a record 62.5% in Game 3, Orlando shot only 41.9%, hit only 59.5% of its free throws and turned the ball over 17 times. And it blew a 12-point halftime lead.
The outcome may have been different had Dwight Howard hit two free throws with 11.1 seconds left. Or even just one of the two FTs. Or if the Magic had fouled Derek Fisher instead of letting him shoot a game-tying three-pointer with 6.4 seconds remaining.

I've always been a video gamer. When I was a kid my parents refused to buy me a video game console. Had they done so, I may never have played outside. They probably made the right decision. Luckily my friends weren't so unfortunate. In the summer time when school was out, I would hang out with a friend from down the street nearly every day. Needless to say, we ran out of new things to do in short order. Nearly every day we would descend into a "I want to do whatever you want to do" battle. My trick to win was suggest we play Mario Kart on his N64, which apparently he didn't like as much as I did. In hindsight I'm not sure why he ever turned me down.
Fast forward a few years to the era of 56K modems and dial-up computer gaming (because I was still console-deprived). These were the days of ICQ and MSN Messenger, where it was cool to chat online with your friends about what had happened since you got home from school (read: nothing substantial). My game of choice was Starcraft, which I would play online with my friends after school for an hour or so. That's all I got since the internet blocked the phone line and my dad didn't share my love for "killing aliens".
When I was old enough to get a job and break free from the financial confines of my parents unspoken ban on console video games, I started saving my money. I ended up camping out with a good friend of mine so we could both get the Xbox 360 when it was first available. And by "first available" I mean many months later, because I live in Canada… We braved the Canadian winter to nab a couple of Xbox 360s at the local Best Buy as early on as we could. I doubt I would have been so inclined if I had to stand in line on my own.
That Xbox got a lot of mileage. Over the years it had to be warranty repaired 3 times, which incidentally led to me learning the guitar in my "downtime". Now those failures were most certainly because of Microsoft's engineering shortcomings; but I like to think its partly because of the 1000s of hours of playtime it got over the years. During undergrad my Xbox was the unofficial designated gaming station for the dorm floor and later, my crazy house of 8 guys. It was on nearly all hours of the day and only got a respite when Super Smash Bros. lured us away for a retro battle. Halo 2 and Halo 3 were our games of choice. I have over 44 days of continuous playtime in Halo 3 with over 10,000 games played between the two. I can't (and probably shouldn't) comment on how much I can claim personal responsibility for.
I wouldn't classify myself as a stereotypical gamer. I don't live in a basement or fear the sun. Although at my wedding, it became quite apparent that a gamer is how many people see me (at least in part). Without any planning or collaboration, the theme of the wedding speeches revolved around video games. I wouldn't call my wife a gamer, but she grew up playing Nintendo with her Dad. She introduced me to retro classics as we made our way through the various Zelda games on N64 and Gamecube, and we spent many hours together tackling Skyward Sword, Super Mario Galaxy, and Donkey Kong on Wii. I've played a lot of different games: sports, shooters, action, adventure. I have my leanings, but I've come to realize that the games I enjoy most are those that can be played with others. As a kid, those experiences were in my friend's basement. As I grew and technology advanced, those experiences migrated to battle.net and Xbox Live (/college dorm rooms). Later, my wife would share with me a part of her childhood while showing me what I had missed in my own (kidding, Mom and Dad!). Many different types of games drew my attention over the years, but communal experience was always the component that kept me coming back.
Mobile is one area of gaming that has lacked much of this communal draw for me, at least until recently. Don't get me wrong: I've played a lot of mobile games. Angry Birds is, by far, the best and most number of hours you can get with a 99¢ app (I picked it up before the Loonie went for a dive and forgot to resurface). And I've sunk my fair share of time into Words with Friends over the years. But nothing on mobile has had that multiplayer experience that I crave. Turn based 1-on-1 experiences are as close as things have come. I always wondered if there were games out there that you could play over Bluetooth or on a local network that blended the virtual world of video games with the real world and people around you. If a Facebook friend isn't available to play I would rather play with someone who's around the corner than I would with some random person in Idaho. I guess what I was looking for was a sort of… "augmented" video game experience. I think you know where I'm going with this…
You've probably been living under a rock if you haven't heard of Pokémon Go. Or at least you are as oblivious as its players walking down the street. Pokémon Go is a pretty amazing game. You have to walk around the real world to find digital Pokémon, and then you catch and train them . You battle other players at local "Gyms", which are tied to real world locations. The augmented reality part is mostly a gimmick if you ask me, although it is fun to see a Pidgey dancing on the sidewalk next to an oblivious passerby. The really interesting part for me is how they've brought together people in the real world. You have to physically be in certain places to interact with and unlock certain aspects of the game and you can actually engage with someone who may be right beside you on their phone. The game itself is fun, although its hard to say how long it will last. I was never a huge fan of Pokémon, so I'm not sure how much staying power it will have for me, but I am excited to see how it transforms mobile gaming moving forward. Its the sort of communal experience that I love in my video games, and with the proliferation of mobile devices, it's the sort that I think more and more games will need to capture their audiences in the future. I, for one, am hoping for more compelling communal experiences like Pokémon Go on mobile. It's what keeps me coming back.

I have to admit, I really enjoyed this film. It's a tongue-in-cheek
parody of the Charlie's Angels format with good laughs, yet it breaks
away from that formula in interesting ways.
First of all, it's pretty racy as far as the revealing uniforms are concerned, so much so it takes you off guard at first.
However, what really shocked me was the well written lesbian love story. At first I reacted in typical guy fashion of: 'Alright! Two chicks going at it', but as you watch the story develop you sense something you don't often see in parody flicks. There's real chemistry here.
I don't know if it was great directing or acting, probably a combination of both, but there were some genuine emotional moments between the two love torn characters -- they were really connecting. It wasn't just a sex thing, but more a real substance, to the point where I found myself rooting for them to finally get together. You'll have to see the movie to find out.
Jimmi Simpson should be mentioned here. I swear I've seen him before, but can't remember where. Point is, his comic timing was flawless and there wasn't a line I didn't laugh on. Maybe I just liked his character or maybe we're going to see a lot more of him in the future.
All in all, it's a fun flick -- you'll enjoy it.

This study evaluates and compares the contribution of Total Factor Productivity to the economic development of Vietnam and China from 1980s to 2000s, the two most successful examples of economic transformation in recent history, as a paired case study. Based on the neo-classical theory of economic growth, the study attempts to analyze: (i) the contribution of TFP to economic development of each country; (ii) the overall assessment and the differences in the growth experience of two economies; (iii) some theoretical explanations for these results, and (iv) identifying some possible determinants of TFP. The study finds out that: (i) TFP played an important role in the economic growth of Vietnam and China since 1980s and especially in later years, contributed to their GDP growth 30.4% and 22.6% respectively; (ii) FDI is significant factor explaining the Vietnam''s TFP growth from 1980 to 2000; (iii) business fluctuation affects the estimation of the Vietnam and China''s TFP growth considerably, and (iv) accumulation of capital was the dominant factor that contributed to economic growth of Vietnam and China with 54.1% and 60.5% respectively.

Blood Pressure Drugs May Reduce Alzheimer's Risk
Men and women who take drugs to keep high blood pressure in check may be somewhat protected against Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, a new study found. And those who took a type of blood pressure drug called a beta blocker may be particularly protected from dementia.
The report, presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 65th annual meeting, found that treatment for high blood pressure was good for the brain, regardless of the type of blood pressure medication taken. But people who took beta blockers had the fewest brain changes typical of incipient Alzheimer's disease.
Examples of beta blockers, which slow the heart beat, include acebutolol (Sectral), atenolol (Tenormin), bisoprolol (Zebeta), metoprolol, nadolol (Corgard), nebivolol (Bystolic) and propranolol (Inderal LA). Over time, high blood pressure has corrosive effects on blood vessels throughout the body, including the brain.
For the study, researchers looked at elderly Japanese-American men who were part of the ongoing Honolulu-Asia Aging Study. Autopsies were performed on 774 of the men after they died, most of whom had suffered from high blood pressure or were being treated for the disease. About 15 percent were taking a beta-blocker alone, while another 18 percent were taking a beta blocker along with another blood pressure medication.
Those taking beta blockers had the fewest brain abnormalities typical of Alzheimer's disease. They also had fewer microinfarcts, a condition that arises when blood does not get to certain areas of the brain, causing multiple tiny strokes.
Study participants who had taken beta blockers, alone or in combination with another blood pressure medication, also had significantly less shrinkage in their brains. Shrinkage of the brain occurs in Alzheimer's disease and progresses as the disease gets worse.
This does not mean that beta blockers will prevent Alzheimer's in people who do not have high blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop Alzheimer's. Treatment of their high blood pressure with beta blockers lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer's to the level of risk seen in people without high blood pressure.
"With the number of people with Alzheimer's disease expected to grow significantly as our population ages, it is increasingly important to identify factors that could delay or prevent the disease," said study author Dr. Lon White of the Pacific Health Research and Education Institute in Honolulu. "These results are exciting, especially since beta blockers are a common treatment for high blood pressure."
More research needs to be done to confirm the links between high blood pressure, dementia and various types of blood pressure medications. It is not a good idea for someone to start taking beta blocker drugs as an Alzheimer's preventive or for someone on blood pressure medications to switch drugs without consulting their doctor. But experts agree that a healthy heart helps contribute to a healthy brain, and it's always a good idea to keep blood pressure in check.

Thanks for the question Piper.
You can work towards paying off your mortgage early – but then you have your money locked up in a rich asset but does this mean you have neglected you other needs? And remember – your home does not earn you any income!
Have you built up a cash reserve for emergencies? Have you got a long term wealth creation plan outside of your home?
When you consider this wealth creation strategy you need to spread the wealth over different asset categories – shares being the one that you need to consider as you have all your eggs in the property basket at the moment.
Also, depending on your circumstances – marital status, age and dependent children – you should also be looking to grow your superannuation – there are great tax benefits to be had in doing that, but not at the expense of other more pressing needs.
