(hardware stores sell them for about 2.00 ) STEP 4 Put a coffee filter over the dirt in the center, then put the top on. The coffee filter is to hold the dirt in the bucket when you do step 5 and 6 STEP 5 Flip bucket upside down, so its now on its lid. put the tomato plant inside the hole. Water it and if needed add more dirt. oh ya.. we use celebrity tomatos Put the plant now somewhere where it can get sun.

Moving Your Eyes Improves Memory

clipped from www.livescience.com

If you’re looking for a quick memory fix, move your eyes from side-to-side for 30 seconds, researchers say.

Horizontal eye movements are thought to cause the two hemispheres of the brain to interact more with one another, and communication between brain hemispheres is important for retrieving certain types of memories.

Previous studies have suggested that horizontal eye movements improve how well people recall specific words they have just seen. But Andrew Parker and his colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University in England wanted to know whether such eye movements might also help people recognize words they have just seen.
