POPSWhy women should ditch the stilettos Kicking off your Manolos and going shoeless will keep the feet strong and flexible. "Any heel above 3in (7½cm) multiplies the pressure on the ball of the foot sevenfold. It can also shorten the Achilles tendon. "

POPSA Precious Gift for Lovers of Literature
The Paris Review Interview Archive "Since 1953, when the first issue of the magazine appeared with an interview of E. M. Forster, our Q&A encounters with the great writers of our times have come to be recognized as a sort of literary genre unto themselves: the Paris Review interview. More than fifty years—and more than three hundred interviews—later, the archive continues to grow with each new issue of the magazine. In November 2006, the first volume of a four-book set of The Paris Review Interviews was celebrated by reviewers across the English-speaking world. In tandem with this publishing project, we offer here online a complete index of every interview ever published, searchable by author and by date—as well as a substantial sampling of the archive’s finest interviews, posted in their entirety. Taken together, these conversations with novelists, poets, playwrights, essayists, biographers, journalists, and critics constitute what Salman Rushdie calls “the finest available inqui

POPSSchwarzenegger Challenges Mother Nature To A Fight The governor ultimately decided against his plan - although he did successfully put out a small fire by squeezing it between his bicep. Instead Schwarzenegger is going straight to the source. "Mother nature will pay. I will grab her puny ankles and shake her until money falls out." At that moment Schwarzenegger turned to a camera and said, "now that's change we can believe in."

POPSpoem: "Lotus" by B. Durbin Remainder of poem: And yet, one wonders how much travelled along the Silk Road, if a Frenchman, perhaps, heard the tales of the tiny feet, the grace of the Lotus Walk, the delicately embroidered shoes, and it sparked a tale of fortune's turn about, the dispossessed coming back into her own. He wouldn't have heard the details; three-year-olds handed over to foot-binders to break them for beauty. We have a knack for finding those things beautiful which are harmful in the end. Arsenic complexions belladonna eyes compressed and corseted waists— perhaps the only surprising thing is that it ended. It endured for a thousand years.

POPSAmerican Idol Dumps Paula Abdul The show's producer Orland Pawlenty said that they had agreed to provide her with her own hair stylist, makeup artist, masseuse, pedicurist, Brazilian wax waxer, and proctologist, but that they had to draw the line at hiring her own manicurist. Ms. Abdul was apparently so angry that she grabbed some sheet music and tore it into dozens of pieces. She then screamed at Pawlenty how come (Simon) Cowell gets to have his own personal eyebrow plucker, lip outliner, chest hair comber, and lap dancer.

POPS10 Strangest Japanese Toys The Obama & Pregnant dolls have been features on CM before but I clipped them again, anyway, Here's the info for the last toy featured. "Kaba Kick is a Russian Roulette for kids, well in this case a Japanese Roulette. The player points the gun at his or her own head and pulls the trigger. Instead of bullets, a pair of feet kick out from the barrel (which is shaped like a pink hippo). If the gun doesn't fire, the player earns points. I would surely like my kids playing this healthy game. (Source)"

POPSHow to fix bad ankles More: Why should balance training prevent ankle sprains? The reasons are both obvious and quite subtle. Until recently, clinicians thought that ankle sprains were primarily a matter of overstretched, traumatized ligaments. Tape or brace the joint, relieve pressure on the sore tissue, and a person should heal fully, they thought. But that approach ignored the role of the central nervous system, which is intimately tied in to every joint. “There are neural receptors in ligaments,” says Jay Hertel, an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Virginia and an expert on the ankle. When you damage the ligament, “you damage the neuro-receptors as well. Your brain no longer receives reliable signals” from the ankle about how your ankle and foot are positioned in relation to the ground. Your proprioception — your sense of your body’s position in space — is impaired. You’re less stable and more prone to falling over and re-injuring yourself.
