WTF happened here????


Too Kimmie Gibbler for my taste.... dear God.

Delicious

While I'm very excited for the Fall/Winter [fashion wise], I can't ever wait to get back to Spring/Summer. It might be that I'm a Summer Baby...or just the simple fact that I love sexy sandals/heels.

* By studying narrative’s power to influence beliefs, researchers are discovering how we analyze information and accept new ideas.

I'm A Gifter Sniffer-Hidden Power of Scent

KEY CONCEPTS

* The human sense of smell is often seen as insignificant, but this sense is keener and more influential on our species than many people realize.
* Smell subconsciously facilitates a variety of human social interactions. People use smell to assess a person’s likability, sexual attractiveness and emotional state. They can also use scent to distinguish a stranger from a friend, a male from a female and someone who is gay from someone who is straight.
* Deficiencies in olfaction may contribute to social withdrawal, such as that which accompanies schizophrenia.

Sleep on It-How Snoozing Makes you Smarter


KEY CONCEPTS


* As we snooze, our brain is busily processing the information we have learned during the day.
* Sleep makes memories stronger, and it even appears to weed out irrelevant details and background information so that only the important pieces remain.
* Our brain also works during slumber to find hidden relations among memories and to solve problems we were working on while awake.

The Neurological Root Of Genius


KeY ConCEPTs

* Smarter brains tend to be bigger—at least in certain locations. Researchers have fingered parts of the parietal and frontal lobes as well as a structure called the anterior cingulate as important for superior cognition.
* Some studies suggest that the brains of brighter people use less energy to solve certain problems than those of people with lower aptitudes do. But under certain circumstances, scientists have also observed higher neuronal power consumption in individuals with superior mental capacities.
* People often overestimate the importance of intellectual ability. Practice and perseverance contribute more to accomplishment than being smart does.

Blackberry "Thunder/Storm" /HTC COke / LG Lotus reviewed



Ok, the Blackberry Thunder looks like it sucks. What's with the touch screen battles?? I'm not a fan of the touch screen keyboard. This Thunder makes you push too hard on the screen. That definitely leaves the possibility of some schmuck breaking the screen. (then again, that's his problem) The HTC Coke is too big, plus I hate Windows Mobile....when they come out with 7, call me.
