POPSFantastic Fall Foliage At Butchart Gardens, Victoria, British Columbia Earlier this week, I tried to post these stunning photos of fall foliage at Butchart Gardens, Victoria, British Columbia, without success. Autumn is my favorite time of the year, and these beauties were just too remarkable not to try one more time to share them with everyone. Enjoy the Wonderland-like scenes from this incredible park in one of our planet's most beautiful countries.

POPSPolling Americans It's not about what the American public thinks, I agree with Barbara Boxer, Science will win the day. No only if the climate change folks, previously known as the Global Warming folks, will be able to clearly reason through the facts and understand that the Earth is currently cooling. . . not warming.

POPSStudy Says Dabbling in Surrealism can Boost Your Brain Power During the study, Proulx and Steven J. Heine, a professor of psychology at the University of British Columbia asked that participants to read an abridged and slightly edited version of Kafka"s "The Country Doctor," which involves a nonsensical -- and in some ways disturbing-series of events. And second group read a different version of the same short story, one that had been rewritten so that the plot and literary elements made sense.

POPSThe Spirit Bear
While the white bears are protected by law, the other ninety percent...the ones that carry the gene but don't show the coloration...are fair game. Also, timber companies are interested in logging the islands and areas where these bears live. For the past couple of years debate has been heating up over a proposed park centered on Princess Royal Island. "Spirit Bear Park" would encompass 265,000 hectares, (1,000 sq. miles "ish"), and provide complete protection for the ten or fifteen white bears that live there and their black kin, as well as grizzlies, wolves, ancient stands of Sitka Spruce, and important spawning streams for salmon. The B.C. government has counter-proposed a 39,000 hectare park, giving the rest to loggers. The clear-cutting began last year. We will just have to wait and see what kind of impact it has on the bears. Black bears of any color are pretty good at adapting to man, and I think that in the long run, the Kermode Bear will survive, even if it's numbers are reduce

POPSThesis: How American Media Covers "Terror Plot" Stories This week's stories about alleged plots in NY and Colorado, etc. are beyond pure journalist reporting, and have a very inflammatory slant to them consistent with this objective and scholarly thesis. The media has a power that is far too great to overlook when reading or watching about such news. While Bush (justly) gets the blame for tricking Americans into war in Iraq, he could not have done it without the MSM media. Neither could have Wilson or FDR for that matter.

POPSMany Health Workers Won't Take Swine Flu Vaccine. Why? People can be scared to death and force to follow what rulers want include the suicide, as long as they believe that they are control of the decisions and experts and media knows about the truth. Unfortunately that is what is happening in india. People line up get the poison and die , instead they can simply survive by taking Vitamin C , vitamin D or sunlight and selenium

POPSCanadian City Uses Feces to Repel Homeless
It's tough to believe that anyone -- especially a city official -- actually thought this was a good idea. But it's downright bizarre that a plan so ridiculous, so "bird-brained" was actually implemented; city officials located the dung, transported it, spread it, so on and so forth. It was only after the negative press that the city manager had it cleared (and deodorized the area, apparently). To many, this bird dung story will be kind of funny, really nasty, or completely outraging. But to me, it's just really sad. Sad for the people who usually sat outside of those city buildings, most likely because they had nowhere else to sit. Now the whole world knows what city officials really think of them, perhaps even what they equate them to. Sad that it takes an extreme story of such hate and ignorance to bring the issue of homelessness to the front of people's minds. And sad because this story really isn't about homelessness at all. Because homelessness should be about not ha

POPSMillions of salmon vanish from Canadian river more (at source): Several theories have been put forward to try to explain the sockeye's disappearance, including that climate change may have reduced food supply for salmon in the ocean, or that they may have been infected with sea lice en route to the Fraser River. Another theory is that the rising temperature of the river may have weakened the fish. The Canadian Government does not know what is killing the fish, but believes the sockeye are dying off in the ocean, not in fresh water, based on healthy out-migrations, said Jeff Grout, regional resource manager of salmon for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.
