The Plastic Mind: New science reveals our extraordinary potential to transform ourselves

...but I just couldn't get past the fact that Buddhist monks would/could justify the maiming of animals to prove something to...who? WHY does "science" have to "prove" what practitioners in other disciplines of endeavor have known for millennia? And why would anybody who would be drawn to this book need proof of what they know from people who maim animals? I'm not even a bleeding heart anti-vivisectionist, but something about this assumption, that science has to prove everything, was made disturbingly clear to me in this book. I suppose that's worth something. I gave it three stars because it's well written.

Ucreate Music
$34.99
im a music gadget fan from many decades ago. this thing is 100% cool. it now sits right by many high dollar toys(korg kp3, kaossalator, roland 404 sampler, suzuki q chord)
another wesley willis idea from beyond.
very easy to operate, and when using headphones, it sounds really really good. if you like music, you will have fun with the ucreate.
the the portal of sounds couldnt be easier to use, and when using a good set of headphones, you actually hear bass!!! you can upload your samples and songs very easy, and the songs can be pasted into media player and burned. im hoping they will give us more loops in the future, as the sampler is not as good of quality as the loops. truth is, put this thing in a better housing, allow custom loops to transfer, and a few more inputs and outputs(rca, 1/4, midi) and this thing could do some serious music.
but for what it is, and the age group intended for, you couldnt ask for anything more. i have said it many times, but never meant it this much, IF ONLY THEY HAD THAT WHEN I WAS A KID!!
if you want to go all out, get some good headphones (Sennheiser PX 100 Collapsible Headphones 38$ but worth it, the better the headphones the more they will use it, and these sound good and will fit young people) get a Multi Voice Changer by Toysmith(to have more sample options) 14$(9volt battery) great toy, dozens of sounds from microphone distort to alien. rechargeable AA batteries,(enloop work well) all sold by amazon with prime shipping
with these items, they will be able to sample, loop, and manupilate their music for months.
