POPSAdvanced-level tips for the best ever no-knead bread More: The crust…is where the no-knead method kicks unequivocal butt for the home baker. Artisanal loaves have a thin, crisp crust that is difficult to duplicate in a home oven. Home “sandwich loaves” and the like will turn brown on top, but the crust is just a lifeless dry area at the edge of the loaf… In a commercial oven, the necessary moisture comes from injectors that flood the oven with steam when the loaves are put in…The Sullivan/Bittman no-knead recipe, however, uses the genius innovation of baking the bread in a pre-heated Dutch oven (a heavy, oven-safe, lidded pot). The lid is placed on the pot for the first 30 minutes of baking, so steam from the wet dough is trapped in close proximity to the surface. The result is perfect gelation and a very professional-looking crust. Definitely going to try this tip the next time I make a batch of bread . Speaking of which...

POPSDoes Death Exist? New Theory Says 'No' This was clear with the death of my sister Christine. After viewing her body at the hospital, I went out to speak with family members. Christine's husband - Ed - started to sob uncontrollably. For a few moments I felt like I was transcending the provincialism of time. I thought about the 20-watts of energy, and about experiments that show a single particle can pass through two holes at the same time. I could not dismiss the conclusion: Christine was both alive and dead, outside of time.

POPSObama Takes Break From Vacation To Let Us Know He Won't Rest! in the bathroom of a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight on Sunday. Several police vehicles and a police command unit have surrounded a plane at Detroit’s Metro Airport, after the pilot of a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight requested emergency help. Two sources tell Fox News that the suspect boarded a plan in Lagos with no baggage, and said the FBI has already sent an email alert to other federal agencies notifying them of the incident. The source said the man taken into custody at the Detroit airport was a Nigerian man in his 30s. Federal officials know who the suspect is, but won’t provide any more details. He allegedly barricaded himself in the plane’s bathroom for an hour. There are some reports suggesting that the Nigerian man may have just been a sick passenger. Why the hell would anyone travel international so light? No luggage should have been the first red flag. http://deadenders.wordpress.com/

POPS"Our World May Be A Giant Hologram" continues (full at source): For many months, the GEO600 team-members had been scratching their heads over inexplicable noise that is plaguing their giant detector. Then, out of the blue, a researcher approached them with an explanation. In fact, he had even predicted the noise before he knew they were detecting it. According to Craig Hogan, a physicist at the Fermilab particle physics lab in Batavia, Illinois, GEO600 has stumbled upon the fundamental limit of space-time - the point where space-time stops behaving like the smooth continuum Einstein described and instead dissolves into "grains", just as a newspaper photograph dissolves into dots as you zoom in. "It looks like GEO600 is being buffeted by the microscopic quantum convulsions of space-time," says Hogan.

POPSSea Organ Thanks to the Sea Organ music project, the inhabitants of Zadar have been restored once more to their relation with the sea. Chaotic reconstruction work undertaken in an attempt to repair the devastation Zadar suffered in the World War II turned much of the sea front into an unbroken, monotonous concrete wall. Now, the inviting white marble steps lead down to the water. Concealed under these steps, which both protect and invite, is a system of polyethylene tubes and a resonating cavity that turns the site into a huge musical instrument, played by the wind and the sea.

POPSTell me again how the Stimulus is going to work? And please, tell me again how sending more of our debt fueled "spending" to Chinese electronic manufacturers is going to save us? Can ANYONE see reality anymore? Or are we just going to keep playing out the tired old party lines as our once great nation falls? GLOBALIZATION did this to us. NOT subprime mortgages.

POPSEPA chief: The hacked e-mails change nothing U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, and other congressional Republicans had asked that Jackson abandon her finding in light of e-mails from climate researchers that questioned the scientific foundation of global-warming theories. The e-mails were found by a computer hacker who got them from a server at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. "Today's EPA action mimics the e-mails in one respect – it demonstrates that public relations priorities rather than straightforward science are driving U.S. policymaking on global warming," Barton said. OBama and the crazy left care nothing about the truth, only in cramming their green agenda down our throats and damn any evidence they are wrong!

POPSBlack Holes May Act Like Cosmic Factories for Building Galaxies
The stream of material was likely to be fuelling star formation in the galaxy, the scientists believe. In effect, the quasar was building its own host galaxy. At a later stage the quasar was expected to end up at the galaxy’s centre. ‘The two objects are bound to merge in the future: the quasar is moving at a speed of only a few tens of thousands of kilometres per hour with respect to the companion galaxy and their separation is only about 22,000 light-years,’ said lead scientist Dr David Elbaz, from the CEA research institute in Saclay, France. ‘Although the quasar is still ‘naked’, it will eventually be ‘dressed’ when it merges with its star-rich companion. It will then finally reside inside a host galaxy like all other quasars.’ A similar process may have led to the formation of other large galaxies with massive black holes nestling within them, the scientists believe. The research appears in the journals Astronomy & Astrophysics, and the Astrophysical Journal.

POPSRoyal Society Puts Rare Scientific Manuscripts Online Newton?s theory on light and colours in the 1600s, that continues to provide the basis for theoretical physics, will be published along with a gruesome account of a 17th-century blood transfusion. A paper by Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, will also be released on an experiment to fly his kite in a storm to prove that lightning is electricity rather than a supernatural force.

POPSCode Pinko - just what is it you really want? Just saw Medea Benjamin on Fox denouncing Obama for sending troops and calling for congress to defund Afghanistan war. It is so painful to listen to these hypocrites. Benjamin is a cofounder of both CODEPINK and the international human rights organization Global Exchange went to Afghanistan in Oct this year and she was told by the women of Afghanistan they needed the troops to stay, they were fearful if the troops pulled out. Code Pinko did not like what they heard from the Afghan women. They were hoping they would say it's OK if we are killed, if we can be used as cannon fodder for Code Pink. Bunch of spineless A-holes who believe no war is ever justified. They should be exiled to Iran for a few years, to live as some of the oppressed people they claim to be for.

POPSWas Jesus taught by the Druids of Glastonbury? New film claims it is possible he came to England There is no historical evidence that Joesph of Arimathea was related to Jesus. Additionally, there is no historical evidence that Joesph of Arimathea had any connection with the British Isles. There are several records that claim to identify the earliest Christian missionaries to Britain. The earliest of them are from the late 2nd early 3rd century (long after Joseph would have died). The earliest document claiming that Joseph of Arimathea went to Britain is from the 9th century. Conclusion, this is a fantasy with no basis in fact.
