An update for the ColorVision PrintFIXA major update for the PrintFIX?The ColorVision PrintFIX has had a mixed press. Some people have had excellent results, while others have had problems. A year on from his original review Keith looks at where things have moved. Note that this article was written in November 2004. It has been updated with newer product informations, but is largely left as written, for archive purposes, and for anyone finding an original PrintFIX in a drawer somewhere... Using the original PrintFIXSeveral people have contacted Keith after reading this article. Keith has done some further testing and discovered some interesting tips on getting better profiles. See more info at the bottom of the page We also have reviews of the latest PrintFIX Pro, which now runs as a standalone package with a Spectrocolorimeter for measurements, and the PrintFIX PLUS software only solution Update information (2012)
The PrintFIX PRO is a completely new system based on a spectrocolorimeter and a standalone software package. It supports 3rd party inks and almost any printer you might want to try. It does not support the original PrintFIX scanner. Changes in version PrintFIX1.2Buying the SpyderPrint (current version) We make a specific point of not selling hardware, but if you found the review of help please consider buying the Spyder Print, or any other items at all, via our link with Amazon. It won't cost any more (nor less we're afraid) but will contribute towards the running costs of our site.
Purchase From B&H (also helps us) The most obvious difference is that you have to send off for an update. This is free when you supply your PrintFIX serial number.
You get a some new software and two copies of an all new calibration card. Perhaps addressing some of the concerns about unit to unit variability, the new card has coloured patches... PrintFIX scanner with the new software and calibration cards. The new software also supports an increasing range of printers:
New printers added Feb 05 (and upgrade to V1.2.1) CANON 9900i, CANON i80, CANON i9900(Updated), CANON iP8600, EPSON 4000 Matte, EPSON C60, EPSON C80, EPSON PXG5000, EPSON PXG900, EPSON PXG920, HP130 * Also supports MediaStreet Inc's Generations G-Chrome Inks and Lyson Inc's CavePaint & PhotoChrome Inks on these printer models. Epson 4000 currently supported for PhotoBlack only. New printers May 05 (V1.2.2) CANON i9950,CANON iP8500, SAMSUNG CLP-500, SAMSUNG CLP-550 The PDF manual is very clearly set out and you should read it carefully to make sure that you follow the correct procedure when using the PrintFIX. I tried out the new version using Photoshop CS under Mac OS X 10.3 and it installed fine (New** see notes at end of article). The original black and white calibration card is still used for setting up the scanner, and I'd draw your attention to the suggestion in the manual that you recalibrate the unit each time you use it afresh. Measurements for profile building require accuracy and consistent equipment. The coloured cards are used in the profile building part of the PrintFIX program, suggesting that this is an additional kind of calibration. As I suggested in my original review there was space in the dialog box to add features... :-) The screen shot above was taken while re-testing one of my original scans. I've tried a 'new' profile using one of the cheaper papers I used for the original review and the results were noticeably better. I've not done the extensive testing that I did before, so I can't really be certain that it was not just me being more careful in making the scan and print. I welcome ColorVision's efforts to continue developing the PrintFIX and would suggest that you get your upgrade ordered asap. If you are still wondering about the device, have a look at the "Is PrintFIX right for me" section of the ColorVision site and understand what it does. I use a RIP for printing on my Epson 9600 - this is far beyond what the PrintFIX was designed for -- especially with all the B/W work I do. I use PrintFIX profiles in some of my teaching and with some oddball papers that I use for a few prints on my Epson 1290. Latest news (16/11/05)I've had a few reports of people having difficulties with getting good profiles and one person was good enough to supply me with an actual test print and profile chart. I scanned the chart and generated a profile. Checking several images with Photoshop soft proofing showed that the image was too light and too yellow in the highlights. I went back to the scan and found that due to slight slippage the patch block was not completely square. The sides and top of the block were parallel to the paper edges but the bottom edge was not. Selecting the whole scan I distorted it slightly to make it square (It is obviously best to get a good scan in the first place...) I also used the clone tool to remove blemishes, dust, and slight print defects (ink dropouts for example) Generating a new profile, I compared the two. The differences were quite noticeable, with the second profile giving a very good soft proof. I've not had these problems with the profiles I've used with my Epson 1290, but if you are having difficulties, then maybe a closer look at your scans may show up some problems. Please note that Northlight does not provide a remote profiling service! This was just a test I also heard from someone with problems on a dual G5 Mac. I'd tried out V1.2 on my old G4 which I still use for quite a bit of work. On the G5 the installed software seemed to cause Photoshop some serious grief ("could not write file" error), but then I remembered I'd just upgraded the Mac to OS X 10.3.6 I ran the PrintFIX uninstaller, did a disk permissions check (no problems) reinstalled the PrintFIX 1.2 and restarted. This time no problems. Just to be sure I installed V1.2 on my G4 laptop (10.3.6) once again Photoshop complained. Uninstalling and reinstalling seemed to fix things. As such I'd suggest using the unistaller to get rid of old PrintFIX stuff first if you are on a Mac... I should add that I've also had mails from people saying that their profiles were OK, but I'd appreciate comments either way.

Easy roses : thick hedges and specks of colour without too many cares
Flowering with no problems. The Meilland research has created a group of no graft roses, easy to cultivate, disease resistant, for thick hedges and colour patches in gardens.
English translation by Mario Beltramini
He that wants to looks nice, has to suffer a little: and he that loves to be surrounded by splendid roses, must accept several "thorns".
War against the "powdery meldew", and the "black spots", with cocktails of fungicides; struggle against the insects, more and more resistant to the poisons; complex and uneasy pruning, not to cite the continuous research of the "basal shoots", the treacherous branches of the graft carrier plants, which the beginner has difficulties to locate, and which, if not removed, transform, quickly, the rosary of our dreams in a monster with different, intrusive branches, and "surprise", very modest, flowers. A frequent fate, without attentions, for many modern varieties, too weak to live alone, and compelled to use the foot of an unlucky, recalcitrant, "graft carrying rosary".
In order to obviate to all these drawbacks, the Meilland, has recently selected about twenty "without problems" varieties, the Meillandecor, rechristened, for Europe, Meidiland, and in Italy, Multirose, by the Nino Sanremo, which guarantees, moreover, with this trademark, a first-choice production, solely in pot.
Plants very resistant to the diseases and the parasites, which grow up like the wild ones, on their feet, without needing any pruning, or contenting themselves, like a normal hedge, of one mechanical cut per year; landscape plants, shrubby, ramified even from the base and resistant to the frost, with flowers of small size and a modest perfume, in bud, almost incessantly, from May to December; plants covering the ground with fast growth and low costs for the public works, which, in the stretch between Bologna and Imola of the motorway A14, already occupy, just to say, 30 km of traffic islands; but also terrace plants, in large cases, and plants for competitions, which boast about thirty international awards and several gold medals. Let us see some of them, grouped, depending on the maintenance.
Alba-Multirose (Meiflopan). Propagated in 1986, it's the "easy plant", par excellence, as rustic as a wild rose-bush. Tall about eighty centimetres, with hanging down and creeping aspect, it widens up to one metre and a half, and astonishes for the copiousness of the small, clustery flowers, rich of 42-49 petals on 2-3 cm of diameter. As candid as the snow, they reach the maximum coverage in June-July, following one another, later on, in several cycles, until around Christmas, and few branches are sufficient for perfuming the house with unusual long lasting bouquets.
Scarlet-Multirose (Meikrotal). Commercialized from 1985, resembles, for many aspects, the Alba-Multirose, except for the corollas of 4 cm and 20 petals, of a nice red scarlet, and the plant, more vigorous, is easily taller than one metre twenty. Lazy and tardy, reaches the apex of the flowering in full summer, and, spaced with the Alba-Multirose, at a distance of 50-70 cm, creates spectacular rows where the branches of the two varieties mingle, giving the impression of an immense two coloured magic rose-bush.
But, seeing that, the first one is fast growing, and the second, especially at the beginning, is rather slow, in cold climates where its vegetative period is reduced, it is better to put it in place one year before the invading neighbour.
Red-Multirose (Meineble). Diffused since 1987, has a hanging, creeping appearance, and even if widening up to one metre, does not overcome, usually, the 80 cm of height. The outcome is an harmonious and firm bush, which might be thought to be the result of patient pruning. The simple corollas, with 5-9 petals, red, with the white centre where bounces the gold yellow of the stamens; reach the 6 cm of diameter, but it mainly strikes for the richness of the flowering, almost uninterrupted, with several cycles, from May to November. Very good is the resistance to the cold, and also in winter, between the snow, it does not lack of fascination, with its small red berries.
Chunga (Morpaplay). Similar to the Red-Multirose, as per aspect and blossoming, but sold from 1985, is conspicuous for a slightly smaller flower, with a yellow centre, and an almost double number of two-coloured petals, cardinal-red on a side, and cream on the inferior one. An impressive variety, for flower-beds and low hedges in hanging down position, which, even if having the merit of blossoming with 2-3 weeks of advance, on the other roses, presents, where it is cold, the handicap of a rather slow growth.
Ferdy (Keitoli). A really unique variety, which has come out in 1984. Parsimonious of flowers in autumn, disappears in May under a mountain of corollas of three and a half centimetres, imperial pink, rich of 20-30 petals. But even if under certain environmental conditions, the growth can be slow and capricious, its main merit, besides the great rusticity, and facility of cultivation, consists in creating real and proper cheap "living boundary walls". In the rows, a plant every 80-100 cm is sufficient, and the scions, which come out, like spades, from the base, do the rest: in 3-4 years they form thick and not surmountable hedges of almost 2 metres, wide 120-150 cm, and by the end, even a cat cannot pass through the thorny tangle.
Repens-Multirose (Meilontig). Diffused from 1985, has been recently "abandoned" by the Meilland, because the renewal of the patent was not profitable, due to the scarce sales. And then, furthermore, this variety, in bud with clusters of simple white corollas only in May, was the "black sheep", swimming against the stream of a group under the sign of the reflourishment. But the Nino Sanremo goes on in producing it for two merits, which are unparalleled in other rose-bushes. It does not overcome the 30-40 cm of height, and with its branches, creeping and layering, which reach the six metres, is fit for consolidating and recovering, with trifling costs, the grounds subject to landslides of the escarpments. A rose, by sure, not for the garden, but precious, which, unluckily, has not been understood by the landscape architects.
In all above varieties, pruning is, not only of no use, but even dangerous, as it alters the structure of the plants.
They are to be cut only for containment reasons, or in harsh way, every 5-6 years, by the end of winter, at few centimetres from the soil, rejuvenating them, starting from zero again.
Bonica 82 (Meidomonac). Produced in 1981, is a strong variety, tall 80-150 cm, and wide even more than one metre, suitable for hedges, flowerbeds and bushy shrubs. The petals, 40-50, on corollas of 6-8 cm of diameter, are pale pink, and in June, the plant reaches the top of its splendour. Then, in August, the petals reduce to less than a half, but there is a good recovery in autumn, and they go on till around Christmas, when, in the last cycles, elegant red berries take form. It is, perhaps, the modern rose-bush which better bears the cold, if we think that it has overcome, several times and without any harm, the -35 °C of the gardens of Helsinki, in Finland.
Cocorico (Meilasso). It reaps laurels since 1988. A bush tall a little more than one metre, 60-80 cm wide, with even 20 flowers per branch, each one with a diameter of 9 cm, and 10-13 petals fluttering in a sort of French cancan. As soon as unclosed, they have a lot of yellow nuances, but then, they change colour to the pale carmine pink, with an intense red border. The plant gives the maximum by the end of May, and after a strong summer falling off, by mid autumn the number of the corollas is almost the same as in spring time.
Deborah (Meinoiral). Diffused since 1988, has mien and flowering similar to the Cocorico, but the pink-carmine corollas, with flat cup, boast a very classical look, wide 7-8 cm, with about 30 petals, blossom numerous, even 12 per branch, and the plant has shown, in several instances, an exceptional resistance to the cold.
La Sevillana (Meigekanu). Since 1978, is a typical floribunda, available either in the grafted version, or in the Multirose, without graft carrier. Even if in the first case, at the beginning, the growth is faster, the second way seems to be better, due to the absence of "basal shoots", a grafter sturdiness of the rose-bush, with solid branches at the level of the ground, and the low costs of maintenance. In Piacenza, for instance, a flowerbed of 150 square metres, installed in 1988 in Piazza Roma, with the system of the sub-irrigation, has come, luxuriant, till our days, without any need of phyto sanitary treatments, and with only one annual cut. The maximum splendour of this bush, one metre wide, and even 150 cm tall, with stems hanging owing to the weight of the flowers, is reached in May and in October; but it is always covered of a good number of vermilion corollas of 6-8 cm, with 12-15 petals, united in bunches of 3-5 flowers, and exists from 1983 also one version with pink petals, known as Pink La Sevillana (Meigeroka). The berries, numerous and of big size, of a nice, bright, orange, complete the great ornamental value of these plants.
Rustica 91 (Moryelrug). Spread in Italy since 1991, is the first reflourishing yellow rugosa. A "modern ancient rose", reconstructed at a table, not taller than 70 cm, with 1-6 corollas per branch, of 9-10 cm each, rich of about thirty petals slightly perfumed of lemon. The blossoming reaches the apex in May and by mid autumn, with a diminution of the 40% during the summer.
Cherry Multirose (Meirumour). Just arrived in Italy, has simple, cherry red corollas, with creamy white centre, of about 7 cm of diameter. A shrub of 60-80 cm, and 70-120 cm of height, with regular and copious flowering from May to November. And also in this case, the orange-red berries are fascinating.
Fuchsia-Multirose (Meipelta). Diffused in Italy this year, with Bengal pink corollas of 4-5 cm, 15-10 petals, and even 14 flowers per branch, can overcome the 60 cm of height, widening to even two metres. And, rare instance between the roses, has an autumn flowering more abundant than the spring one.
Bingo (Meipotal). Distributed since a few months, this rose-bush of 70-80 cm, wide even more than one metre, has been compared by the Meilland to a starry sky. Actually, its carmine pink little flowers, marbled of cream-white, with white centre and old pink borders, stand out, from April to December, like many stars against the dark foliage.
Unlike the usual garden roses, the varieties of this second group must not be pruned on the sides. It is in fact to these, negligible, small branches, usually taken off, that is given the important function to cover, with cascades of flowers, till the ground level, the foot of the shrubs. The cut is therefore to be done by the end of winter, in an horizontal way, at 2/3 of the height. A further merit for the huge expanses, where the work is done with a machine.
And the withered flowers?
Apart the variety White-Multirose (Meicoublan), which has difficulties in getting rid of them, all these plants, get organized by themselves. The corollas leave the place to bright ornamental berries, or the calyx falls down with what is left of the petals, and the plant starts again, vigorous, for a new cycle.

Excluding Algae. See separate entries for FERNS, FUNGI and SLIME-MOULDS (below). Note that there is relatively little Australian literature on these groups, particularly handbooks, and that we are often dependent on overseas books for identifications. Fortunately these plants tend to have wider, intercontinental distributions, so these books are often of use in Australia down to genus level and sometimes even to species. Note also that full identification (to species) may require the use of high-power microscopy; nevertheless, practised use of a 10x handlens can get you a long way.

Today Justin Timberlake released his new single, "Take Back The Night" to fans who pre-ordered the second installment of The 20/20 Experience, which will arrive in stores September 30th. Just like the first installment of The 20/20 Experience you can expect heavy production from soon to be producer of the year Timbaland.
Today fans can preview the album right now. Both installments of The 20/20 Experience will be bundled into the "JT Complete Package," which will be available as well on September 30th. Part of The 20/20 Experience will include 11 tracks and will also have a special surprise from Justin.
I wonder what the surprise is? Maybe extra songs that we wont know about till the release. I can't wait till September 30th, because the first installment of The 20/20 Experience received an abundance amount of play on my iPod. Check the cover of the complete package below.
Mmmm I don't love this, but I don't hate it either. "Take Back The Night" will serve as the first single from the second installment of The 20/20 Experience, which you can pre-order here.
In a slick new video teaser above, Justin Timberlake lets listeners in on the new single for The 20/20 Experience Pt. 2 dropping September 30th. It's called "Take Back The Night" and sounds like it could be a pop smash that we're all accustomed to from JT. Also inspired to bring a poster and sharpie next time I pull up to the club.
PREVIOUSLY: Justin Timberlake "Tunnel Vision" (NSFW) [Music Video]
Flex just premiered the new JZ/JT single "Holy Grail". I quickly went from 'lukewarm' to 'warm' on what will be one of the most talked about tracks off Magna Carta Holy Grail purely because of the star power involved. Look for these two to perform this song on the Legends Of Summer tour coming up this month. In the meantime, MCHG is live streaming on Hot 97 and available on (I think, because I don't have a) Samsung phones now.
A couple of my highlights: the Nirvana allusion and Jay-Z's second verse on.
*Tibs Fav.
For Mobile Users:
Wow, look at those names again. And isn't your first thought, "Could this be the greatest song ever?"
OK, even if it's not, that's quite an impressive list of A-listers on one song. But then take a look at the lyrics. I'm not resonating with so much materialistic bragging. Holding off any further thought though until the song comes out, now less than a week away on July 4th.
If you can remember last week I posted about Mariah Carey and Miguel possibly shooting a video for the remix of "#Beautiful," and it appears that was indeed what they were doing. This past weekend Mariah hit the studio with rapper Young Jeezy and producer Mike Will Made It. Jeezy hinted the possibility that he will in fact be on the remix tweeting:
I'm just going to take a wild guess and say Mike Will Made It will serve as the producer for the remix. That and he tweeted, "In the yo working with one of the worlds biggest RnB female artist. Another Banger." Mariah Carey's new album The Art of Letting Go will be in stores July 23rd. Also she is confirmed along with Justin Timberlake to performing this Sunday at the 2013 BET Awards.
Rarely do you see a song released like this: lyrics first. Well, Jay-Z's already against the grain for Magna Carta Holy Grail so it's fitting that it's him. Track 14, "Holy Grail", will feature Justin Timberlake and you can read the lyrics below. Looks like we may get a little Kurt Cobain from JT on the hook.

The Shop at Bluebird Review
The brainchild of the couple behind popular womenswear brand Jigsaw, this 10,000-square-foot space in the old Bluebird garage brings together fashion, furniture, books, and music—all chosen for style and originality. It's worth visiting for the displays alone, which change regularly, although the funky ceiling-light installation of more than 1,000 bulbs seems to be a constant feature. After browsing, unwind with a treatment at the on-site spa or join the ladies who lunch at the restaurant in the same complex. It's a good 20-minute walk from the nearest Tube station at Sloane Square, so catch a No. 11 or No. 22 bus along the King's Road.

Just bad, really, really bad.
Nothing remotely interesting about this - well I'm not sure what this was. Besides being a large pile of manure.
Insightful and on point
This should be required reading for every lady, for every age. Every man is different; different likes and dislikes, different preferences in taste in women...but look at our cores and every man has a group of common characteristics. Men want to feel as if we are an integral part of the "couple", whether married or not. We want to help. As complex as women think we are, I disagree. Appreciate us as men and we will travel to the ends of the earth to see the smile on your face, the feel of your hand in ours as we walk in the mall. Also remember, daughters learn to treat their husbands based upon watching their mothers treat their fathers.
helped a lot
Thanks. It helped a lot. i have written a couple of stories so far, but they didn't go so well. I think this will help me make it better.
thanks again.
You've made me realize something...
There were some things I liked about this article, particularly your positivity. The only thing I didn't like were some of the comments that were considerably submissive, such as the 'honor' or 'privilege' of fellatio. I hope you'll agree that the same should be said for men of cunnilingus. While some commentary came across as submissive, they were countered by the idea of being in control when you give a man head. I appreciated that perspective the most, because I have only had devastating experiences with head--all of which were situations in which I was being taken advantage and didn't realize it. I thought fellatio was supposed to be intrusive and still do, but have only recently discovered that this should NOT be the case. These one-too-many bad experiences have made me see fellatio as a degrading experience, one in which I wasn't in control. Now I'm in this long, loving relationship of over three years, and I want to please my partner in this way and feel safe to do so, but I don't really know how, which is why I'm on this website. From what you have written, it's clear to me now that good (consensual) fellatio entails a mutual connection between both partners and the woman is really in control to pleasure the man. When the man is in control, it's easily abusive and literally intrusive--he doesn't trust you so he's controlling you to please himself. In your descriptions, he is trusting you to please him, and he's not intrusive about it. He's relaxing into it instead. Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective for those of us who have had bad experiences that had shaped our perspective of fellatio poorly--a perspective not of giving a man pleasure and ecstasy but a perspective of female degradation and intrusion. Don't get me wrong, too many instances are that, so it is unfortunate that there are generations of boys out there being intrusive about fellatio and giving a bad connotation to something that should be a positive and desirable experience for both men and women. Thank you, again, for sharing your positivity and perspective. Suck away!
The truth
That's common sense now not all women are like me... Bold blunt and beautiful. But all women are different (and I'm single) so I agree but it's my opinion
This "how to" essay is a good read in spite of the fact SJP gets a little carried away in repetition. I have been writing fiction for decades but unfortunately very little of it has been published. Over the years I have arrived at many of the points made here. Writing to me is like having a conversation with the perfect listener. By extension, writing erotica is like flirting with (in my case) a beautiful and sexy lady; whereas writing pornography is like telling the same sexy lady a truly filthy joke. In the first case I am trying to excite as well as amuse the lady so that she becomes receptive of further conversation. In the second case I am trying to shock the lady and encourage her to walk away. I loved the analogy of the Bentley and the blonde. Great example of how the erotic is in the details, not the sex. Thank you for all your stories. I have rated all those I read. I commented on just a few. Just lazy, I guess. Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS.
Dirty talk - a view from the talker
I enjoyed this and it rings true for me. I get seriously turned on by talking dirty to a submissive girl. It gives me a massive power rush, especially when her mouth is otherwise occupied and she can't talk back!
Thank you!
I can't tell you how ideal this article is for me at this exact moment in time. I've been with my partner for three years and just recently brought up the discussion/analysis of sexual fantasies. Slowly, overtime, I've told him things about myself that I never thought I'd tell a living soul. What's worse, most of these things I didn't even realize I was suppressing in the first place, like my sexual fantasies. Then they all suddenly surfaced--and by all I mean every single resemblance of a fantasy I can remember as far back as being five! They weren't raw sex fantasies by any means, but they were the fundamental archetypes for what would later become overt sexual fantasies. They came racing to the surface like a traumatic, suppressed childhood experience, which only reinforces your commentary about our learned/inculcated guilt of sexuality and active suppression of it. My partner and I scratched the surface of this discussion/analysis, and we anticipate more! It was such a freeing experience to reveal fantasies that made me feel guilty, because they seemed to contrast who I am, such as fantasies themed by subordination contrasting my feminism, but really they only reinforced my identity after we discussed it through a Feminist lens. (He's a Feminist too, in fact!) It was inspiring and, I didn't realize it until now, but it even made our sex that much better when we saw each other next (we're long distance at the moment). Reading your article was the exact piece of Literotica I was looking for! Delightfully informative and deeply intellectual, and it helped put to words the ideas I was trying to formulate but didn't know enough about to describe. (Not-to-mention it's reassuring someone else out there shares the same opinion.) Thank you for your intellect!
thank you
I've always wantedd to try this. I do wish you would give deeper explanations. I'm afraid even having reread your article several times that I don"t have the self-confidence to engender trust from a partner. After all, using Hypnosis in any way is putting a certain ammount of control of their thoughts and actions in the Hypmotists hands. Trust would be a must. I must try and hope that it works.
Another wonderful addition
Your writing is always a step or two above the average at this site, or any site for that matter. If asked, I would have said that this is an author who considers the role of author in writing in her published works. You write like someone who thinks about perspective, about vocabulary, and most certainly about a character's point of view. Your works are complete narratives, with shifts and surprises along the way. In short, you are writing as though erotic was a literary category and you bring skill to that category. This article further proves my point that you are a writer and these works just samples of your catalog.
Now, you asked for additional suggestions.
6) read what authors have said about writing and about their writing. There is a lot to be learned from a quotation, which can give an author summary of their objectives, or a quick instruction of their art.
7) read poetry to continue growing as an author. Poets can innovate and surprise with the way they use language, kind of like the way a composer turns sound into something artful. In addition, read poetry from your non-native language. It can be a great seminar to refresh your writing to find the images they use, and the rhythms that come through even in translation. Reading poetry from a non-native language can also help expand a writer's mental context for what they write.
8) read what cognitive or behavior research scientists have discovered about the ways language affects the brain and how the brain processes different verbal combinations. It is, for me, interesting to discover that some word combinations always have an effect while others do not, and to find that the effect can be measured.
9) read what non 'writers' have said about their understanding of language. I mean search for the advice of people ranging from songwriters to jingle composers to ad writers. Yes, ad writers. You have 1 minute to make a lasting impact - and people like David Ogilvie did it again and again. As a writer, you ought to read his thoughts on writing, on the audience, and more. Wouldn't it always be worthwhile to know how successful songwriters like Lennon & McCartney wrote so many memorable songs? Yes, look outside the boundaries of whatever category you write in for insights and advice to make your writing more powerful.
10) go and make a difference!
Thanks for this chance to add my thoughts, Tara. I am so glad I discovered your works here on Literotica, and pleased to find that you are an ex-pat to boot! As the Boss might say - Greetings from Asbury Park! Best to you and your daughter
An Excellent Treatise
I hope it improves the writing skills of many of these authors and speeds up our reading time, Triple T. Thank you for a wee bit more painless education.
How would I go about finding one
First if you believe it to be pee, use Methylene Blue.
it will make your urine blue, great party gag.
If memmory serves me right: around the urethral opening I believe are 2 small holes, as small as tear ducts at a cross angle of each other those are tied to het G-spot (female prostate) which also holds fluid like the male one does
Because science is not interested much in changing anatomy books since probably the early 1900's, you will unlikely see this in your biology books.
It will give the same pressured feeling as needing to pee, that's why you should let her pee before sex, to ease her mind, so she can relax and let it flow out.
I actually have no clue what happens when it fills up and you keep it in, guessing absorbed back into the body or released when peeing ?

12 Tasting Notes
Very light and soft. I added honey but wouldn't again as I think due to the lightness it has to stand alone to be enjoyed.
Really like the boldness of this black tea, good pick me up.
Think I like the idea of this tea more than the flavour. The aroma is light, which I think the tea was but I was expecting a fuller whiskey taste…good excuse for a wee dram after your tea.
This is a fantastic hard core builders brew! You have this in your tatty old mug with the tea stains you can`t get out, pull up your drawers and get the day going! Love it!
Didn`t like the vanilla in this and gave the tea away to a friend who loves vanilla. For me the spice disappeared and the vanilla was overpowering…a bit like a perfume department.
I like this when I make a Chai latte at home. I will cheat and use 2 bags but that is only because i« want the BANG of the spices to really hit.
Cannot say enough yummy things about this tea!! I love how it `snuggles`the tastebuds and makes you crave a soft blanket and an old movie.Fanatastic!
Not so keen on this one as I find it too weak. I think camomile is best fresher and loose…that sounded a little dirty.

► The stem cell regulator WUSCHEL promotes female reproductive development ► WUSCHEL acts in the ovule via hitherto uncharacterized WIH genes ► The WUS/WIH pathway is ovule specific and CLAVATA independent ► TRN genes function together with WIH in the transition to female reproductive fate
Unlike animals, higher plants do not establish a germ line in embryo development but form haploid germ cells from diploid somatic cells late in their life cycle. However, despite its prime importance, little is known about how this transition is regulated.
Here, we show that the WUSCHEL (WUS) gene, initially identified as a stem cell regulator in the shoot meristem, is required for megasporogenesis and thus ultimately for the formation of female generative cells. WUS functions in this process by indirectly activating the expression of the WINDHOSE1 (WIH1) and WIH2 genes that encode small peptides found in plants and fungi, but not in animals. WIH genes function together with the tetraspanin-type protein TORNADO2 (TRN2)/EKEKO in promoting megasporogenesis.
Together, our studies identify a pathway promoting germ cell formation from somatic precursor cells.

Insider: 2010 Educator of the Year Jeff Chute's
As an instructor who presents NAR's quadrennial "Code of Ethics" training as well as teaching numerous other continuing education courses, I have found a constant need for ethics training. After all, the Code is what raises us (REALTORS®) to the higher standard of behavior expected by our respective clients.
Case in point: in the day-to-day activities of real estate professionals, sometimes the courtesy we extend to the public, the listings, and each other can be 'lost in the shuffle' as we transact properties in this somewhat challenging environment.
To address this, while the Code of Ethics establishes objective, enforceable ethical standards, NAR's Pathways to Professionalism is a list of professional courtesies for voluntary use by REALTORS® which address issues of courtesy or etiquette. The articles were established by REALTORS® as another level to professional conduct. Below is an excerpt from the third section of
Pathways to Professionalism: Respect for Peers.
Respond to other agents' calls, faxes, and e-mails promptly and courteously.
There can be something aggravating about not being able to reach the agent on the other side of a transaction. Professional relationships may be tarnished and client relationships damaged. In this current age of smartphones, professional assistants, and other creative ways of covering an agent's absence, accessibility should ALWAYS be a priority.
Share important information about a property, including the presence of pets and security systems, and whether Sellers will be present during a showing.
Warnings on condition can be particularly important when marketing Real Estate Owned (REO) properties, which may or may not conform to building and safety codes due to condition. I recall the time we received only the front page of a 'Title V' inspection report. Although it showed a 'pass,' a later page revealed that the system was designed for fewer bedrooms than represented. BE THOROUGH!
Show courtesy, trust, and respect to other professionals.
The preamble to NAR'S Code of Ethics refers to this 'Golden Rule.' It is important to remember that relationships with our peers usually outlive client relationships. Long after the transaction closes, the two professionals involved are still likely doing business with each other.
Return keys promptly.
We all have had the experience of returning home from a showing only to find we are in possession of keys that belong in the lockbox…or back in the listing office. As inconvenient as it may be, those keys must be returned ASAP! Deliberately retaining the keys of a listing your buyer shows interest in (thus limiting availability) is not only against the Code of Ethics, but also simply bad behavior, possibly leading to loss of reputation. REMEMBER: reputations are hard earned, but easily lost!

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- Playboy Enterprises Inc. and Larry Kasanoff's Threshold Entertainment, producer of the ``Mortal Kombat'' action movies, teamed up on Wednesday to make mainstream feature films that extend the Playboy brand into a new arena. The deal marks a second, recent move by Playboy to leverage its name, known around the world as a symbol of adult entertainment, into new arenas beyond magazine publishing, video production and soft-core, erotic cable TV channels. ``The power of our brand, worldwide, I think will work so well that this hopefully will be a very successful move for us,'' said Richard Rosenzweig, ``And Larry really understand brand extension.'' Kasanoff, chairman and chief executive of Threshold, is perhaps best-known for making the male-targeted ``Mortal Kombat'' martial arts films, as well as managing entertainment brands like ``Duke Nukem,'' ``GI Joe,'' and ``Hellraiser'', among others. Beyond movies and video games, Threshold has leveraged those entertainment products into ancillary arenas, such as live stage shows. The Playboy alliance, however, will focus on romantic comedy films budgeted around $25 million and aimed at men and women who aspire to copy the kind of carefree lifestyle Hugh Hefner has epitomized since founding Playboy magazine in 1953. ``The movies are not what you'd expect to see from us since we've mostly made action,'' Kasanoff told Reuters. ``You know, the Playboy lifestyle have been very aspirational to a lot of people .... It's a fun, classy lifestyle.'' Kasanoff said the movies will be ``broad comedies'' and could carry PG-13 ratings, so they will not necessarily be the style of adult entertainment for which Playboy is known. The deal calls for the alliance to produce two movies initially, tentatively called ``A Night at the Playboy Mansion'' and ``Playmate of the Year''. Kasanoff said ``Night at the Playboy Mansion'' revolves around two guys trying to sneak into a party at Hef's home. Rosenzweig noted the deal is non-exclusive, meaning the company is open to pursuing film deals with other filmmakers and because it involves raising independent and studio money to fund the movies, Playboy's financial risk is limited. Indeed, for Playboy the movie deal revolves around using the wealth of lifestyle content from its magazines, videos and Web site -- as well as the Playboy name -- around which to develop, produce and promote films. The movies, too, serve as a promotional tool for the magazines, videos and cable channels for people interested in the Playboy lifestyle. The moviemaking plan is not the first for Playboy because the company has produced movies ranging from director Roman Polanski's ``Macbeth'' in 1971 to Monty Python's ``And Now For Something Completely Different.'' It also has a long history of producing mass media products, dating back to the classic syndicated TV series, ``Playboy's Penthouse.'' Playboy also has produced made-for-TV movies for broadcast networks and still makes videos featuring Playboy Playmates. Over the years, fictional stories pulled from the magazine's pages have also been made into movies, like Ray Bradbury's ``Fahrenheit 451'' and Cameron Crowe's ``Fast Times at Ridgemont High.'' But the feature film plan is a first for the Alta Loma label, which has been confined mainly to made-for-TV productions. The feature film deal follows Playboy's July acquisition of three, hard-core adult entertainment TV channels from Van Nuys, California-based Vivid Video. By purchasing the three channels -- Vivid TV, the Hot Network and Hot Zone -- Playboy hopes to stem audience erosion from its stable of softer, erotica channels: Playboy TV and two Spice channels. On Wall Street, Playboy shares gained 10 cents to close at $14.40 on the New York Stock Exchange.

Featured Book The Cycles Turn by David Toft
If it is one thing that project managers must emphasize, it is delivering results. Without delivery, there can be no successful project close out. In the early discussions of the Tao of Tsau, we saw that the third requirement of a successful consultant is to "Deliver".
However, the impatience of driving relentlessly toward delivery must be tempered by a patience for the people doing the delivery. The relationships among team members are important if the project is going to succeed. Impatience slowly erodes the fragile shells that people construct around themselves as they negotiate their daily lives. Too much impatience with progress leads to frustration. Frustration leads to a reduction in efficiency and effectiveness -- and eventually hinders getting the job done.
Lao Tzu understood this. He says it best with a few lines from the middle of Verse 64*.
"Act and it's ruinedGrab and it's gonePeople on the verge of success often lose patience and fail in their undertakingsBe steady from the beginning to the end and you won't bring on failure"
*Tao Te Ching, The Definitive Edition, Lao Tzu with Translation and Commentary by Jonathan Star, Jeremy P Tarcher/Penguin, 2001, page 77.

Tender perennial that is winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-11. In St. Louis, it is grown as an annual. Easily grown in moist, moderately fertile, well-drained soils in full sun. Best flowering is in full sun. Thrives in hot summer climates. Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date or purchase nursery plants. When grown from seed, flowers usually don't appear until approximately 3 months after sowing. Set out plants after last frost date. Seed may be harvested from garden plants for planting the following year.
Native to tropical Asia, musk mallow is a compact tender perennial that typically grows in a bushy clump to 1.5-2' tall when grown as an annual. Species plants feature hibiscus-like yellow flowers (to 2-3" wide) with purplish centers. Cultivars expand the available flower colors to include attractive shades of pink, orange-red and red often with white centers. Flowers last only for one day, but plants bloom freely throughout the growing season to frost. Flowers give way to fruit capsules (to 3" long) which have a musky aroma, hence the common name. Hairy, dark green leaves are deeply cut into 3-7 lobes. Abelmoschus esculentus (okra) also features attractive yellow flowers, but is more commonly grown as a vegetable crop for its edible seed pods.
No serious insect or disease problems. Watch for spider mites, slugs and whiteflies. Root rot may occur in poorly drained soils. Susceptible to powdery mildew.

These baits work incrediblely good, there is just one catch, at the top of the bait where you hook it will rip pretty easy , but that's the only bad thing about there baits , other than that these baits are incredible!!

Tried these for the first time this year for flipping and so far so good!

Rated 5 out of 5 by bpsmatt Solid Flipping Bait
Stays put cast after cast when you aren't getting bit. Enough plastic in the center to provide some meat without getting in the way. Will get beat up when fish are eating it, but lets you set the hook better. Fish love this bait in the grass, around wood, dragged on the bottom. They hit it before it even hits the bottom when flipping. Works wonders as a "finesse" flipping bait. For something with more movement, jump to a Zoom Speed Craw.

Tue 07 Aug
Much to my surprise, I've become a regular user of my Kindle Fire. I never expected that to be the case, since I was so unimpressed with it at its debut. But when I realized that I was toting it along with me just about every day, I also realized that the only app I ever used on it was the tablet version of The New Yorker. If you're a devoted reader of that magazine and you ride the New York City subway, you'd probably agree with me that it's much easier to read it on the smaller, more easily gripped Kindle Fire than it is on an iPad, especially on the always-crowded L train.
For some reason, Condé Nast decided that creating a full-text iPhone version of The New Yorker app was not a priority. Until now. As of this week, there's a brand new iPhone version available as part of iOS' Newsstand. Each print issue is now available in full, delivered automatically on Monday.
This probably puts an end to the Fire's usefulness for me. Unlike plenty of others, I actually enjoy reading on my phone. Having a phone with me at more or less all times is a huge advantage over the additional screen real estate that a tablet — 7-inches or otherwise — affords.
So a new iPhone version of The New Yorker would have to be really bad for me to not want to use it. The bar is very, very low, I should say.
Luckily, the app clears that bar. I'm not sure how much further above the bar it rises just yet, but the app does work. Which is to say, it seems to carry over many of benefits as well as many of the problems that its iPad and Fire versions have.
To list a few of the problems: on my admittedly aging iPhone 4, I see a lot of progress spinners as the app desperately tries to load pages while I swipe from article to article. It just shouldn't be necessary to wait for text as much as Condé Nast's apps ask us to wait for text, not in this day and age. And the app's insistence on pagination — and vertical pagination, at that — instead of natural scrolling is typical print-centric fussiness; the byproduct of this is that some articles ask users to page through as many as forty or fifty screens. Pagination, along with the inability to resize the font size for your own comfort, is probably required to preserve the app's exquisite typography. It seems particularly cruel to disallow font resizing on a phone app, especially one whose main purpose is to read, but hey this is Condé Nast, so we take what we can get.
On the plus side, the app offers all the fantastic content of each issue of The New Yorker, finally available in a convenient, mobile form — finally! That's a win, in my book. Also, I can now ditch my Kindle Fire.
After reading this, it makes me think that you'd love the Nexus 7. I was going to grab a Kindle Touch, but for a few pounds more I could pick up a powerful tablet computer instead.
The size of it makes it perfect for carrying about to read books on and, being Android, has a lot of apps for reading publications like The New York Times.
Before getting this, I had an iPad and I still have an iPhone, but this little thing is just amazing.
Finally! I downloaded the iPad one a year ago and was miffed about having to pay for another subscription. I'm happy that I can now read the NYer on the Iphone, even with its current flaws—I can live with them. Thanks for the heads up.
Fortunately (for me), the font size on the app is just about where I like it for subway reading.
Pagination is annoying.
At least they managed to slim issues down to ~25 megs. iPad issues sometimes weigh in at a hefty 300 megabytes.
Sounds like you may be a candidate for the rumored "mini" iPad, to be announced around the same time as the next iPhone.

For these yarn ball decorations you will need some styrofoam balls (any size you like) and some yarn in colours that will look nice with your tree and other ornaments.
Start wrapping yarn around your styrofoam ball. It doesn't have to look perfect right away. Make sure you change the direction that you are wrapping every so often the way I did.
Once you can no longer see your styrofoam ball and you are happy with the pattern you have made with your yarn, cut the yarn and leave a longish tail.
Secure your yarn by weaving the end under a few of your wrapped pieces.
I used my yarn tail to make the hanger for my ornament.
Just make a loop large enough to fit over the branches of your tree.
Then tie a little knot
and secure by weaving once more through your wrapped yarn.
Next I weaved the end down to the bottom of the ball and trimmed it so that there was a little tail hanging. You could also trim the tail completely so that there is none hanging down if you prefer.
Place on your tree! If you kept a hanging tail you can play with it and wrap it around your branches a little bit.
These yarn ball decorations are super easy to make and I love the way they look hanging on my tree! All of my balls are the same size but I think it would also look super adorable if you used a few different sized styrofoam balls.

Key Facts for Journalists
Since 1999, Tŷ Hafan has been looking after life-limited children, young people and their families, ensuring they make the most of every precious moment. Not only does Tŷ Hafan provide specialist palliative care, but we also offer a much-needed source of strength, support and short break care. We provide support to the whole family almost anywhere, whether it is at the hospice, their own home or in hospital. From diagnosis we journey with them and are there for as long as necessary. All this is completely free of charge for families in Wales that need us.
But quality care comes at a cost. Tŷ Hafan is not part of the health service and in 2011-12 received just 10% statutory funding towards more than £3 million needed to provide care and support to life-limited families in Wales. We need your help.
Ty Hafan Facts
- Tŷ Hafan is the only children's hospice in South Wales but its services are available throughout Wales and are free to any family that needs them.
- Life-limited means that the child or young person is not expected to live beyond 18 years old. We do not use the words "terminal", "sick" or "ill".
- Tŷ Hafan provides specialist palliative care addressing the physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each member of the family.
- The majority of Tŷ Hafan's work is about "quality of life" rather than "end of life". It is focused on "making the most of short and precious lives."
- Tŷ Hafan provides care for the whole family – from diagnosis we journey with them and are there for as long as they need us. Tŷ Hafan never stops caring for the bereaved.
- Tŷ Hafan is not a hospital and is very different from an adult hospice. A child and his/her family can be referred at the time of diagnosis with care and support being provided throughout the course of the child's condition which can be for many years.
- We provide support to the whole family almost anywhere, whether it is at the hospice, their own home or in hospital.
- The children and young people who access Tŷ Hafan's services suffer from a broad range of conditions, including rare genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities, progressive neurological conditions or even clusters of symptoms as yet undiagnosed. For example, it cares for children with irreversible organ failure; Cystic Fibrosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Battens Disease, Mucopolysoccaridosis, severe Cerebral Palsy and children with multiple disabilities.
- Apart from short break care, Tŷ Hafan provides services such as Family Support, Complementary Therapy, Music Therapy and Outreach Play both within the hospice and in the family home.
- It costs more than £3 million every year to provide Tŷ Hafan's services to those families who need them. Over the years Tŷ Hafan has received limited income grants from Local Health Boards (LHB's) and the Welsh Government towards those costs. For more information visit www.tyhafan.org/funding-facts/
- The rest of Tŷ Hafan's income is generated by public donations and fundraising - including community and corporate events, legacies – and its commercial activities such as its lottery and shops.

Foreign Affairs; Applying Hindsight to Foresight

TROODOS, Cyprus, Aug. 8 -- Khrushchev's essential program -- if he does not in the meantime gamble the world into destructive war -- is to increase Soviet industrial output sixfold by 1980 and to leave the United States "far behind." Senator Fulbright rightly sees this as "a major challenge" to our initiative and Major Titov's exploit underscores the point.

Project Description:
We are an international company that creates explainer videos for clients. Videos are typically 90 seconds in length and are all animated.
We need an American script writer to not only write an engaging script, but a very descriptive scene along with it. The general structure of our scripts are: problem - solution - USPs - call to action. There must be a compelling overall idea behind the visuals, scene description, and not just slide by slide decriptions of visualizations with motion graphics.
We need someone that can work on short notice and has a quick turnaround time. We also require the writer to have direct contact with the client to ensure the script is written perfectly.
Please contact me with samples.
Thank you.

After a year of partisan political warfare and rhetoric ranging from high-minded to hateful, Speaker Pelosi and colleagues have sent President Obama legislation "resurrected like Lazarus" (New York Times) from what seemed like legal euthanasia a short time ago.
Hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, and too a lesser extent, health insurers all gained concessions to make the legislation more palatable to their bottom lines. Testy topics such as coverage for illegal immigrants and abortion saw compromises which will satisfy few. For physicians, numerous improvements were also achieved, including "Administrative Simplification for Physician Billing In Private Sector" requirements, encouraging MICRA-type reform, incentives for primary care, and more.
The American Medical Association (AMA), which gave the legislation "qualified support" in the latter moments of the process, issued this statement from AMA President J. James Rohack, MD: "Historic passage of health system reform by the U.S. House of Representatives is an important step toward providing coverage to all Americans and improving our nation's health system. Every day physicians see the devastating effect being uninsured has on the health of our patients. Physicians dedicate their lives to helping patients, and we have an historic opportunity now to do just that. While the House-passed bill isn't perfect, we cannot let the perfect be the enemy of the good when it comes to something as important as the health of Americans."
Click here for the AMA statement. The California Medical Association (CMA) has provided a more detailed summary of the legislation. For patients who are concerned, CMA notes "If you like your insurance, you can keep it. Grandfathers all existing coverage, including Health Savings Accounts."
The "Insurance Industry Reforms" bear printing here almost in full:
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors this week adopted San Francisco's comprehensive secondhand smoke ordinance on its second reading. The new policy, introduced by Supervisor Eric Mar and approved unanimously, tightens up existing rules and helps SF to "catch up" with some other municipalities.
It will restrict smoking in many public places, including dining areas where food is served outdoors, waiting lines, building entrances, hotels, most bars, farmer's markets, taxicabs, and common areas in multi-unit buildings. The policy is the result of much effort by a broad coalition of health advocates, including the SFMS.
SFMS Past President Steven Fugaro, MD, who testified in favor of the policy on behalf of the medical society, reports, "This is a big victory for the anti-tobacco forces, and I am very pleased!"
Assuming the Mayor does not veto the ordinance, it will go into effect 30 days later. There will be a 6 month delay in the implementation of the outdoor dining provision. For coverage of the policy, click here.

So, some more thoughts on competition. There are plenty of reasons why we compete as adults. Of course, I can only speak for myself but I hope I can shed some light on this idea. For many years, my main competitive motivation was pride. I wanted to be the best. I felt that I was entitled to be the best. The truth is I'm not the best…no one is. So, in its infancy (or before we "grow up") competition is a product of our desire for personal esteem. Small amounts of this are okay I suppose but not the level we normally associate with narcissism. And even into adulthood, occasionally we find the individual who is still captured by their own potential for greatness and their willingness to steam-roll others to get there. I must say that the majority of my experience with competition falls into this category. It's drives our love of football teams and our aspirations of climbing some sort of corporate ladder. It's the driving force that makes someone at Catalyst wish they were that person speaking on stage and network their brains out behind the scenes to "connect" with the next ministerial conquest.
But there's a much more devious form of competition that enters when we grow up. Competition based on fear. And unless you've been under a rock somewhere, this is the most common form of competition you will encounter. It is the foundation for much of our business practices and even affects our churches. When you are economically secure or work in a safe corporate culture or a church environment that is open, you don't see this type of competition. But when our families are threatened, our finances are at risk, reputations are jeopardized, or people start throwing around terms like "divisional restructuring," cooperative trust and loyalty disappear. And this is the mantra of fear-based competition: "I don't have to be first…just don't let me be last." This competition based on fear makes us do some strange things. Though I beleive it's important to be thankful for what we have, I am amazed at people's willingness to oversell the value to "2nd tier" schools, vacations, cars, and luxury items simply because "1st tier" is out of reach. I can't send my kid to an Ivy League college so I'll talk about how high the average SAT score is and how low the acceptance rate to my public school choice is. I can't own a beach house in Destin, Florida so I'll buy one somewhere else and rave about the "up and coming" location. I can't own a Mercedes but have a Tahoe. It's the idea that drives the old joke about "Thank God for Mississippi" since Mississippi is worse off than the state you live in.
Churches are designed to be the exception to this simply because the gospel states the opposite. We are all on the same page. Now, you might assume that my next conclusion is that "we are all on the same page because we are all sinners." And that's true – I'd put myself in that category. But the church has a more urgent message to convey: we are on the same page because we are accepted in Christ Jesus (Eph. 1:6, NKJV). Everyone is "1st tier." But churches don't always convey this message well. But that doesn't mean that each person cannot grasp it on their own. I'll talk about how to do that in the next post.

Grant: $500,000 - National Institutes of Health - Sep. 22, 2009
No votes have been cast for this award yet
Award Description: A significant potential exists to modify the structure and function of the aging human brain given intensive mental stimulation and physical activity. Age-related cognitive decline has consistently been identified on frontal lobe measures of executive control such as reasoning. Concomitantly, a greater vulnerability of frontal brain networks, which subserve executive control functions, has also been identified with aging. Preliminary evidence highlights the potential of reasoning training as well as physical training to modify and strengthen brain and cognitive function in seniors. Evidence from our lab indicates that frontally mediated, gist-based reasoning (defined as the ability to combine detail information to construct abstract meanings) offers a promising cognitive domain to train. Extracting gist meaning from the massive amount of incoming information is one of the most vital mental skills a healthy mind achieves. Purpose: This proposal is an innovative study to obtain data regarding the benefits of a (a) novel gist-based reasoning training program or (b) physical training on frontal-lobe mediated cognitive measures of executive control in cognitively normal seniors. The project will also employ newly developed (a) brain measures to chart changes in brain blood flow and connectivity combined with (b) a cognitive activation task specifically designed to measure brain regions engaged in gist reasoning versus detail processing. The project also examines shorter dose effects, i.e. after 6 weeks and 12 weeks, than previously examined as well as individual differences based on high and low performers for gist and physical training. The current study seeks to discover neuroprotective, nonpharmacological interventions that could prevent mental decline and strengthen cognitive brain health in seniors, with possible societal savings of billions of dollars. This will be one of the first training studies to explore short-term intensive reasoning and physical training, each documented as pivotal to cognitive brain health with the potential to strengthen frontal regions against the losses associated with aging. Brain & Cognitive Changes after Reasoning or Exercise Training in Cognitively Normal Seniors 65 years of age and older represent one of the fastest growing segments of our society with the population doubling within the next 25 years with dramatic rates of mental decline, costing society billions of dollars each year. The proposed research seeks to discover whether relatively short term mental or physical training can enhance gist reasoning, generalize to untrained cognitive areas and modify/strengthen brain function in areas susceptible to aging processes. To identify neuroprotective and non-pharmacological interventions to prevent mental decline and maximize cognitive brain health during the course of the adult lifespan has major public policy implications.
