that food grade "poppy seeds" can cause a false positive for an illegal drug in a standard drug test?
Answer:
Yes, you can test positive for opiods after poppy seeds. I work in research and we used to work with cocane addicts. They were tested for drugs when they came in to do research. One day the researchers decided to test the poppy seed ingestion on themselves, and they tested positive after eating poppy seed muffins.
It's true...Mythbusters tested it on their show and proved that it does happen.
That's true...avoid them if you know you will be tested.
Yes.this is true. Do you ever watch Mythbusters TV show? On that show they tested this myth and proved it to be valid. I was pretty amazed, I didn't really think it worked, and you didn't have to eat a whole bunch to do it either!
Poppy seeds can definitely cause a false positive on a drug screen. It has to be poppy seeds from opium poppy plants. Both opiate and non-opiate poppy seeds are sold and used in cooking, but non-opiate seeds are more common. They get into your system quickly and stay for a couple of days.
It's false. Mythbusters ate a whole cup of poppy seeds and it turned out NEGATIVE. So it's harmless to eat a poppy seed muffin. Maybe a long time ago it happened, but today they raised the limit on the margin for error to reduce false positives.
Yes, they are called interferring substances.
Yes it can , it's has thesame chemicals as opium (drug the smoked in korea during the war- also in perks) , so it will test posotive and also police dogs can smell poppy seeds as if it were opium..
there have been cases where poppy seed kolaches (we laughed at how specific they got) did cause false positives in drug tests for morphine/heroin. although if/when they reflex to tlc it should come out normal.

Is it true that a person's pupils will dilate when they see someone they are attracted to?
I read about this somewhere, but I'm not sure how credible the source was.
Answer:
Yes, it's true, but none of the responses so far have really given the most accurate reason for it, so I'll elaborate. Pupillary dilation is called mydriasis and is mediated by the sympathetic component of the nervous system. The sympathetic output is elicited by anything that causes arousal -- fear, emotion, surprise, etc. So, seeing someone you're attracted to clearly fits in this category, and results in sympathetic activation, which causes mydriasis of the pupils.The sympathetic system is also responsible for the other physiological manifestations of attraction, such as increased heart rate, nervousness, increased respiratory rate, etc.
Someone or something, it's true.
I don't know because i never carry a mirror
Yes ,it is very true..heart beat is raised and breath ing is quickened..Kinda like the fright or flight thing.
Pupil dilation:To start off with pupil dilation can indicate liking, interest, attraction or鈥?. intense fear. (we鈥檒l leave out intense fear for another segment). Our pupils dilate and grow when we see someone we are attracted to. Why? Because our eyes enlarge to take more of this person in. This is an unconscious occurrence which we cannot physiologically control. The fun part about this is you are able to tell if someone is interested in you by observing their pupils 鈥?do they expand or contract? Contracting would not be good as it indicates intense dislike. Of course, you need to take the environment into account as well. If you are standing in the sun it may be difficult for the physiological response of pupil dilation to occur. On the flip side, if you are standing in a dark area, pupils will automatically contract, even if there is no liking involved. In addition, remember that some people will have larger or smaller pupils by nature. Dark restaurants induce romance because the dim lights encourage the larger pupils making people more attracted to one another.The fun part about this is that most people do not consciously understand pupil response so you are now one up on a great deal of the population. Studies done indicate as pupil size increases so does attractiveness. For example: models on magazine covers normally have their pupils doctored to give them larger pupils because advertisers know this sells more magazines. Likewise, if pupils appear smaller, it decreases the attractiveness.Interesting tidbit: During the middle ages, women often used a plant extract called Belladonna (Italian for "beautiful lady") To give themselves bigger pupils. They would put drops of the extract into their eyes in order to look more attractive to men - and it worked. The problem was Belladonna was poisonous so the women used Belladonna to look beautiful鈥?. and they did鈥?. and then they would die. Ok, so important points to keep in mind, dilation works in an "unconscious" fashion. Individuals with enlarged pupils are subconsciously seen as attractive, warm, friendly, conscientious people.
yes its true and whats more we are more attracted to people with dilated pupils saw a documentary.they took identical twins and put a solution into the eyes of one to make her pupils dilate.every one in a street survey then chose that girl but couldn't say why they did
yes. why don't you try it.
It is true, this is due to the sudden changes in body chemistry and blood circulation. For example: some people experience cold fingers and some people get a shaky hand. This is blood shifting to the parts of the body where it is required and this causes various effects in the body not just pupil dilation. Breasts expand and you produce more pheromones. etc.
Yes it is true. Psychological experiments have been conducted by touching (i.e. by drawing to make it appear bigger/dilated) a persons pupils alone and presenting the photos to people of the opposite sex. Consistently they had picked out those whose pupils had been touched to appear dilated as more attractive without knowing why. This is one of the subliminal responses that attracts you to people (sometimes of the same sex also).
its absolutely true. sexual arousal causes pupils to dilate.
yes not only that but anything that attracts them that is a function of the eyes
Yes, but it doesnt mean they are going to cheat on you.

Cowboy Doll
Since I had previously drawn up a space man toy ala Buzz Lightyear I thought I would take a stab at a Woody Doll as well. This is what I came up with. Enjoy.

Nico Marlet Sketchbook!
A few hours ago it came to my attention that Nico Marlet had a sketchbook for sale. Who's Nico Marlet you ask? Shame on you! Nico Marlet is the mad genius character designer behind Kung fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon, he's also my hero. This guy is amazing and his work is nothing short of beautiful. So far the only way to get his work has been through a few art of books (The art of Kung Fu Panda, the Art of How to Train Your Dragon etc.) I almost peed myself when I saw this book. The I saw that it was out of stock and my heart stopped. I missed my chance! The reason I am writing this post is so that hopefully some of you will know what a genius he is and will want to have some of his art work. If you follow this link
http://www.gallerynucleus.com/home/detail/9218 you will see it is out of stock but there is a button right below that where you can contact the gallery and request that they make more copies available. My thought is, the more people request it the more likely the chance of them printing more up. So go forth, spread the word. The world needs more art by this guy available (and by the world I specifically mean me, but if you want some too that's cool with me). Thank you for your time. As you were.

Dragon Face
I don't see how it's possible for anyone to see "How to Train Your Dragon" and not go home and draw dragons for a month straight.
Sorry it's been so long. I've been doing plenty of work, just not any that I've shared lately. Let's see if we can change that.
