POPSRemember Cassette Tapes? These Are Amazing! Ghost in the Machine: "In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a philosopher's (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging." : )

POPSDIY soap – cleaning up your act Half way recipes (in which you take a pure form of soap and spruce it up) can be easy to do at home. You can use Castille soap to make several varieties of body wash. Here is one recipe: Vanilla Almond Soap 1/3 cup whole almonds 1 4-ounce bar Castille soap 1/4 cup distilled water 1 tablespoon almond oil 1/8 teaspoon vanilla essential oil Grind the almonds in a food processor or coffee grinder. Using a cheese grater or a knife, shred the bar of Castille soap. Boil the water and add the shredded soap, stirring until you get a nice gooey texture. Reduce to a simmer and then add in the almond grinds, oil and vanilla. You can spoon the soap into molds (ice cubes can make little gift soaps) and let it sit for around five hours until it hardens.

POPSAnd civilians are still allowed to own guns why? A so-called "responsible gun owner" gunned down a man in cold blood — 4 shots, point blank — because the man got grass on him. This is why guns and gun owners need to be strictly controlled; because anyone can have a bad day (Then again, some people are just complete sociopaths). Having easy access to something that is designed only to harm and kill is just not something that the common person should have. People buying guns should be required to have initial and regular psychological assessments, as well as screening for any violent criminal activity; whether committed as an adult, or as a juvenile. It's not worth taking a chance on people's lives just to allow cowards like Harrington to have guns to hide behind.

POPS20 Tattoos You Don’t Want To Get (If You’re A Guy) I have to question why the title of the clip says you don’t want these tattoos “if you’re a guy”. Does this imply that they would be acceptable on a woman??? Anyway, after viewing these I have only one comment: Get some class.

POPSOur Stone Age Ancestors Wore Garish Coloured Clothes He added: 'We were looking to find when the cave was occupied, what was the nature of the occupation by those early hunter-gatherers, where did they go hunting and gathering food, what kind of stone tools they used, what types of bone and antler tools they made and how they used them, whether they made beads and pendants for body decoration, and so on. 'This was a wonderful surprise, to discover these ancient flax fibres at the end of this excavation project.' The researchers also found remains of animal hair, skin beetles and moths.

POPSGender identity isn't as simple as it seems As the case of athlete Caster Semenva (the world-class runner from South Africa) demonstrates, making a final determination on gender is not always possible, even from chromosomes. Think of the complexity this suggests about sexual preference, and the "not natural" argument some employ against homosexuality.

POPS The Secret of The Gecko's Grip
"Something in their system tells them to turn it on at 10 degrees," Higham said. "If you only use it when you need it, then you are not going to subject it to damage." There are advantages for the lizard to not use its adhesive system on level surfaces, Higham said -- mainly to run faster. "Having that extra speed can help them run away or catch something," he said. Higham suggested that the study of the gecko's grip could lead to the development of military and other applications, including gloves and shoes that could adhere to a variety of surfaces and allow people to scale walls. In the YouTube video, Russell proposes surgical applications to close wounds and picture hangers that would not require a sticky residue. The study could also lead to a robot made in the gecko's image. "In a bomb scare or military-type situation, where having humans go in might not be really safe, you can send in a little robotic gecko and explore a dangerous situation," Higham said.

POPSSmall Plane Crashes on Approach to Teterboro Airports; 2 Survivors Found at Bus Stop Sanil Gopinath, 42, of Rockville, MD, was "banged up, but didn't appear to be that injured," Verdi said. Both men were taken to the burn unit at St. Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, NJ. No one on the ground was injured. Bob Gretz, a National Transportation Safety Board investigator, said the plane struck a tree after the pilot decided for reasons still unknown to abort the landing. "According to Teterboro, the runway was checked - they did not find any debris on the runway," Gretz said. "We have not been able to talk to the pilots as they were seriously injured." The plane, which was delivering blood specimens to Quest Diagnostics, a lab near the airport, was discovered in two pieces. The tail and two rear wings split from the aircraft's body. Its nose was intact but badly burned. "It's scary," said Joanne DeVito, 38, who lives nearby. "The big planes come in so low you could wave at the pilot. It shakes everything in the house."
