POPSBye for a While Clipon couldn't resist this clip... More than that though, I really am just getting more and more frustrated with my connection on clipmarks. It is still very temperamental and popping, comments etc just aren't getting through. I read the clipmarks blog - it seems they are planning an overhaul. So, I might just have to give this a break for a while and hopefully it will sort itself out. I can't seem to find out what the problem is with my connection. It is not happening with amplify. So see you at some stage in the future. Thanks for all your great posts, fun interactions et al.

POPSGood-Bye Rolls Royce: Hello Japanese Classic Cars What comes to your mind when you think of classic cars? Pontiac, Porsche or Jaguar? Well, there is a new trend growing in the classic car collectors in the USA. The American generation which grew up driving Japanese cars after the oil crisis in the 80's are getting more interested in the ancestors of their Japanese cars, thinking them as classics!

POPSAlan comes to Stephen's rescue Stephen Fry is one of the wittiest people I have ever come across ~ it's sad to see that even a celebrity such as him can be hard hit by depression.

POPSBye Bye Birdie: Famed Fossil Loses Avian Perch just one of several species of feathered dinosaurs preceding modern birds. It may not even be a direct ancestor. Such revisions make paleontology a science of second thoughts. Reconstructing the history of life, researchers thrash out theories of ancestry, behavior and biomechanics guided by hints from ancient bones. Archaeopteryx -- combining the feathers, wishbone and wings of a bird with the reptilian tail, teeth and claws of a dinosaur -- had already become a question mark. Newly discovered fossils have prompted scientists to revamp their assumptions about archaeopteryx's distinguishing features over the last decade. A cornucopia of fossil finds in China demonstrated that feathers coated many dinosaur species, not just birds. The newest finding, though, demonstrates that our understanding of even well-studied fossils like archaeopteryx -- scrutinized, measured, modeled for 150 years -- can still be upended.

POPSLink Party: Miley Cyrus Is a Bad Tipper • Since we’ve all had a chance to say good-bye to Miley Cyrus‘ Twitter, now it’s time to get back to good ol’ gossip. Like this gem: She went to Outback Steakhouse and didn’t tip on her $70 bill. According to her rep, “She didn’t know she was supposed to tip unless she was eating inside.” Too bad there isn’t some microblogging site or something where she can defend herself.

POPSGood-Bye Senator Kennedy Some of this stuff is over the top, but I like it anyway. Kind of marks the end of an era and, truthfully I'll miss him. And his brothers. I also hope that people use his memory as an inspiration to get going, rather than as an excuse to give up.

POPSWhy do we hate Good-byes? I see you seeing me and I exist. I see you seeing me see you and we exist. Mutual re-cognition is the glue that holds us together, not merely as friends, but as individual selves. Good-byes are poignant preludes to the leave-takings and withdrawals that deprive our psyches of the sustenance they need to maintain our selfhood. As such, every good-bye is a premonition of disintegration, a foretaste of death, another step on the path to "adieu." Have you noticed that old folks tell the same stories over and over? They are desperately trying to shore up identities that, because of a paucity of recognition, are breaking down. By telling us their stories, they are staving off the disintegration of self, one day at a time. You can't really blame them--their struggle is at once heroic and tragic.One day, you too may need a comprehending ear to offset the recognition deficiencies that plague old-age... <<
