"A new study by British researchers supports this theory. It shows for the first time how psilocybin — the drug contained in magic mushrooms — affects the connectivity of the brain. Researchers found that the psychedelic chemical, which is known to trigger feelings of oneness with the universe and a trippy hyperconsciousness, does not work by ramping up the brain’s activity as they’d expected. Instead, it reduces it. Under the influence of mushrooms, overall brain activity drops, particularly in certain regions that are densely connected to sensory areas of the brain. When functioning normally, these connective “hubs” appear to help constrain the way we see, hear and experience the world, grounding us in reality. They are also the key nodes of a brain network linked to self-consciousness and depression. Psilocybin cuts activity in these nodes and severs their connection to other brain areas, allowing the senses to run free." - Todd Hoff from Bookmarklet

Absolutely fascinating how it works. The effects on depression and obsession are also fascinating. We are quite highly strung, built for a world where every sound could mean death, that attention was survival. In a world where the dangers have lessened that hyper attention turns inward and causes so much pain. - Todd Hoff

The Internet is popular, but a very cliche place. - Micah

Bruce, I will ask. Strangely enough Bootstrap was exactly what I was using messing with my skin for my old tired site (wish I'd enjoy that kind of design more, but i dont). I don't know if bootstrap would make a huge difference but I think having a well structured and documented (or self explanatory) template would help, and bootstrap or some other framework would help you in creating... more... - Iphigenie

"I loosely adapted the tomato soup part from an old Bon Appetit recipe, although more than quartering the oil, using less stock, no rosemary, roasting rather than sauteeing the garlic cloves and of course opening up a grilled cheese sandwich and broiling it on top. I think if the recipe could talk, it would forgive me." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Grilled cheese sandwich? D just redefined croutons for me. - Slippy

"Hunan chicken is a Chinese dish that is sweet and spicy. This dish consists of deep fried chicken pieces coated with a sweet and spicy sauce. Peanuts and green onions are added to the mix for even more flavor. The sauce is tomato based and uses ingredients such a tomato paste, chicken broth, soy sauce, and sugar. Most of the spice comes from chili and garlic sauce, you can add more if you like your food extremely spicy. You could also add red pepper flakes. If you don’t have a deep fryer, the chicken can be cooked in a wok or deep skillet as well. Just add a couple inches of oil and fry. Serve with rice. Enjoy." - imabonehead from Bookmarklet

"It's made by cooking spicy green chiles (I use Thai bird chiles, you can use serranos or jalapeños if you prefer) along with onion, garlic, ginger, cilantro stems and red peppers. The key to great flavor development is to cook down the aromatics in oil until almost all the moisture is driven from them and they become sticky and begin to brown. To this flavorful base, a few spices are added (hot paprika, cumin, coriander, and turmeric), along with chopped tomatoes. Chicken is the typical main element of choice, and while many vegetarian versions use cauliflower and chickpeas, I prefer the tender texture of potatoes. I'm always looking for more ways to get leafy greens into my diet, and spinach works very well in this dish. Traditional? Not at all. Delicious? You betcha." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

Oooh. That sounds really good. I might sub a different pea (lentils? hmm.), but the whole Idea sounds awesome. - Jennifer Dittrich

...serious concern about our education system. Specifically, what is the purpose of education? Is it to convey knowledge, as the current system is weighted, or it to be inspired and nurture an ability to constantly learn? — Little Bets (Peter Sims) - Dan Hsiao

Laura, you are right--perhaps it helps you calibrate your tolerance of and resistance to the system. - Your Neighbor Steve

why didn't any of you alcoholics tell me about this. keep drinks cool without watering them down. - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

There is such thing as reusable ice, which is plastic and contains water sealed inside. When it melts the water doesn't come out, so it won't water down your drinks. I used to use them in my daughter's baby bottles to prevent diluting the formula and prevent spoiling when traveling. The ones I had were shaped like Disney characters. http://www.amazon.com/Ice-Sli... - April

"Undaunted by the monumental failure of Personhood USA's push to declare fertilized human eggs exactly the same as grown ass adults in Mississippi, conservatives in Oklahoma have pushed forward with their own Personhood Bill. But one Democratic smartass isn't having it, and she finds the whole thing so absurd that she tacked on an amendment of her own that would outlaw the spilling of semen in any location other than a woman's vagina." - Katy S from Bookmarklet

Johnny: "The State Senator later willingly withdrew the amendment, telling her colleagues that she had introduced it to highlight the ridiculous sexism inherent in a Personhood Law that would force women to be pregnant." - Andrew C (✓)
