Are you Left Eyed or Right Eyed?
Topic: Biology 12:04 pm EDT, Mar 26, 2007

I'm SO left eyed. In my case, I just could never see through any weapon's sight if I were using the typical right hand grip, even though I am right handed. I just could not hit anything as I was first learning. My instructor told me to switch hands. When I switched hands to zero out, I quickly put 2 bullets through the same hole. That's why I have to use a left handed grip.

So I found this interesting....

"In other words, in the left half-field of vision, glance fixation is characterized by higher “information capacity”. This is directly connected with the speed of reading: the more symbols the glance perceives during one fixation, the quicker a person reads. There is one more sign of successfulness of reading: in the course of reading, the glance periodically returns back to the already read word (apparently due to difficulty of perception). Thus, in the left-sided text, the “left-eyed” probationers made less returns than they did in the right-sided text, which means higher successfulness of the “left” text recognition. Besides, the majority of the “left-eyed” persons performed faster quick eye movements – saccades – to the left than to the right."

Its Wildfllower TIME - here's a wonderful database
Topic: Biology 12:39 pm EST, Mar 23, 2006

This is a wonderful link. After searching all morning to identify this plant growing in my yard, I found this link. Within 2 minutes with little scientific knowlege, I was able to correctly identify my plant. (It was periwinkle.)

YOu simply check the characteristics of the plant you have, as best you can, and hit submit. Possible matches come up.

In my case, there was only one possible match. The pictures I found verified that my plant was, indeed, periwinkle.

I'd never planted it, but after reading about it, I think I'll be keeping it.

This is a great link for kids or anyone doing a wildflower collection, or folks just trying to figure out what THAT IS in their yard.

E-Naturalist Site - nice site with great information and a great design
Topic: Biology 4:10 am EDT, Aug  4, 2005

I love this site, and check it out at least weekly. It is great for homeschoolers. The posters they have are great. I mainly look at this site for my son, but always find that I constantly learn new things here.

Oxytocin makes investors more trusting
Topic: Biology 11:36 pm EDT, Jun  2, 2005

When I first saw the word "oxytocin" I thought this was an article on breastfeeding. Every mom that has ever nursed KNOWS that oxytocin letdown feeling - and it is really quite a weird experience.

I was quite suprised to see that this article was about INVESTORS' reaction to it. They become more TRUSTING.

Now, I am sitting here with my head cocked to the side wanting to know who was behind funding that particular study and WHY?
