I'm getting very engrossed with the books by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He is all about truth.

We have a tv show called Lie To Me about an expert on reading people, gestures, tics, and other clues to what someone is thinking which is often at odds with what they're saying verbally. The show is based on a real life man named Paul Ekman, and he, too, is about truth. I have one of his books (Telling Lies: Clues to Deceit in the Marketplace, Politics, and Marriage...), one of the Dalai Lama's books (How to See Yourself As You Really Are), and now I have a book that is a dialogue between Ekman and the Dalai Lama (Emotional Awareness: Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion).

This should prove very interesting.

Another interesting thing is that the Dalai Lama studies quantum physics in addition to metaphysics.

Another book I just read is True Unity: Willing Communication Between Horse and Human by Tom Dorrance and Milly Hunt Porter. It is about horse psychology. I enjoyed it, but in a lot of places the ideas are clear as mud. If you don't already have some experience with horses under your belt, I wouldn't expect you to gain much from reading it.

Hello, visitors, and welcome back if you haven't been here for all the time I've been out. I'm battling some personal issues and haven't been online very much. I look forward to visiting the pages of my friends, both new and older.

Today I found a site about housebreaking puppies at Housebreaking Puppies.

I know this frustration after a lack of success with a puppy of my own, and I've always been frustrated by not knowing how I should have handled it. I was still a kid, and my parents thought they knew how and told me what to do. It just never worked and my parents would have a conniption whenever the puppy (a cute little black and tan doxie) would leave a statement on the floor of their sterile house. (Both are OCD about cleanliness.)

May you all enjoy a blessed Memorial Day!

I've been getting a lot out of Library Thing http://www.librarything.com). It helps you find new books/authors based on the library of your favorite books that it lets you build. It also gives reviews of books and lets you write reviews. It's free for up to 200 books in your library!

Visitors: this morning I've been sniffing through more fawn sites. If you like seeing the fawns as much as I do, be sure to use the drop-down box and see all the fawn and deer entries in this blog. There are quite a few! Lots of horses (especially foals) as well.

Stained glass is one of my favorite artistic media. Someday when I have time and space for it, I really have to learn how to make pieces of art like these. I hope you enjoy these too!

A Molecular Link between the Active Component of Marijuana and Alzheimer's Disease Pathology

Abstract:

"Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia among the elderly, and with the ever-increasing size of this population, cases of Alzheimer's disease are expected to triple over the next 50 years. Consequently, the development of treatments that slow or halt the disease progression have become imperative to both improve the quality of life for patients and reduce the health care costs attributable to Alzheimer's disease. Here, we demonstrate that the active component of marijuana, 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), competitively inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as well as prevents AChE-induced amyloid -peptide (A) aggregation, the key pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease. Computational modeling of the THC-AChE interaction revealed that THC binds in the peripheral anionic site of AChE, the critical region involved in amyloidgenesis. Compared to currently approved drugs prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, THC is a considerably superior inhibitor of A aggregation, and this study provides a previously unrecognized molecular mechanism through which cannabinoid molecules may directly impact the progression of this debilitating disease."
