"I honestly think I must have hit him about 100 times. I think he will probably suffer from headaches for the rest of his life." The violent robbery in July last year resulted in Miskelly receiving serious head wounds during a fight that left the Angevine's bedroom covered in blood. But they say they bear no ill will toward the opportunist raider, instead blaming another man for masterminding the whole event. "My husband and I didn't feel like we were victims because there was only about one and a half minutes when we didn't feel like we were in control," she said.

POPSPickens' words more than just wind I heard this man's advertisement and thought "This is what we're looking for." Big Oil is criticized for their massive profits. This man has made $$ and wants to use it to reinvest in "renewable energy". He makes sense. When the Sierra Club supports him you know he must be on the right track. Hopefully Democrats in Congress will recognize a win/win solution and even encourage others.

POPSThe ten most influential video games ever Although the very first computer games were created in the early 1950s, the video game explosion really began a little over 30 years ago when mysterious bleeping cabinets with the legend ‘Space Invaders’ painted on them began appearing in the nation’s pubs. Since those crude beginnings the game industry has grown into a business to rival Hollywood, and, of course, has its own awards ceremony, the Golden Joysticks, to celebrate excellence in the field.

POPSFlying humans If you saw "Tomb Raider II" (sorry if you did) you may have seen this suit in action. It follows the concept of many gliding mammals, like the flying squirrels, gliders and sugar possums of Australia and flying lemurs in Indonesia (they're real, I swear!) This is an awesome way of flying, I sure hope I get the chance one day! (And I don't chicken out...)
