Interesting study from Harvard found that a smaller corpus callosum (bundle that connects the right and left hemispheres), especially the posterior part was associated with higher levels of creativity on the Torrance Figural Creativity test. The latter test involves making pictures and stories from shapes or lines. Very interesting. Especially with evidence that dyslexics and children with ADHD have...
Julian (Joe) Elliot of Durham University (UK) was at the center of a row in 2005 the UK when he claimed that "dyslexia is a myth", specifically: "Contrary to claims of ‘miracle cures’, there is no sound, widely-accepted body of...
There's a new young action hero threatening Harry Potter's blockbuster throne, but there's something strangely familiar about Percy Jackson and the Olympians Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is already being touted as the successor to Harry Potter's blockbuster throne. The film is based on the books by US author Rick Riordan, telling the story of a young boy who discovers that...
Developmental disorders like autism and dyslexia originate in the brain at a very early age. One in every six children globally and about 74 million children in India alone suffer from such brain disorders. While the nations better-off have been using..
If the makers of this fantastic little piece of fearmongery were going to be completely honest, they would have shown the true results of a 400 kilo polar bear smashing into pavement from a great height. That imagery would certainly be far more shocking : When I watched this vid, some of the old dyslexia kicked in for a second. I thought the web address was PlanetStupid.com, not PlaneStupid.com. I...
One of the things that occurs to me this morning as I wake into the grey silence and snuggle beneath my duvet for a few more minutes before the girls come rushing in with their enthusiasm for the day, is that I was so busy focusing yesterday on the post traumatic stress disorders of war and wanting peace that I completely ignored the other part of the article. 'Two days before shipping off to war,...
Trick Question: What is a downward Spiral? Trick Answer: that new FLAX seed drink at Starbuck – wow, talk about a system flush! Seriously…..beware! The other answer: Me and my health, so says the Linda Linda says that in my need for extra sleep, 5 hour naps, in slowed speech, in slowed thinking, that I’m going down. Except…except, we haven’t had time for all the ‘together’...
Redhead Nicole overcame her shyness and fellow finalist Laura to become the first petite-cycle winner on "America's Next Top Model"! "This journey was incredibly hard," Nicole said after winning, adding: "I'm a dork and I'm 'America's Next Top Model!'" On the season finale, Nicole said she'd led a "sheltered" life that contributed to feelings of social awkwardness...
Aww. Poor Cornpone Laura. From castratin' bulls to crumple-face crying on the CW because she came in second on America's Next Top Participant At Capetown Fashion Week . And even though she should have known Bloody Eyeball would best her—after all, the chicken-fried, homespun, molasses-dipped musings, charming though they are, could only get her so far—Bankable Productions certainly did...
So the season has come to a close and it is a face off between Nicole and Laura… Who will it be??? The fierce yet weird fiery red head or the sweeter than candy southern bell? You know I’ve been rooting for Nicole since the first few episodes so you know where my heart is but at this point anything can happen. The girls did a CoverGirl commercial and both of them kind of struggled. Laura...

Filed under: Other Reality Shows , OpEd , Episode Reviews (S13E11) I love how Tyra Banks creates revisionist history on America's Next Top Model . Not only does she denounce Adrianne Curry's name, she now is ignoring the fact that Eva, who was 5' 6.5" won Cycle Three against "normal" sized models. That's an accomplishment. This cycle's finale episode was less hectic than previous cycles...
Very sobering and bone chilling words from Mr. Frank Schaeffer. About Mr. Schaeffer: Frank Schaeffer is a New York Times best selling author. He is a survivor of both polio and an evangelical/fundamentalist childhood, an acclaimed writer who overcame severe dyslexia, a home-schooled and self-taught documentary movie director, a feature film director and producer of four low budget Hollywood features...
I write my blog posts on a word document and then copy and past them over to the Blogger page; I do this because with my dyslexia it helps to see the words in a familiar style and word also helps with the spelling and layout much better than Blogger. Each time I sit down to write a post I still feel intimidated by the blank page, even though the document now runs to 153 pages and 95,500 words, more...
