POPSMystery face on a 750 year old tile more: It's the best one I have ever found. When I saw the face, my first thought was: 'Who is this mystery figure?'" Plans are already in place to preserve and display the tile locally alongside a second tile found last year in the Shorne Woods Visitor Centre in the country park. "The excavations at the manor are part of a wider programme of archaeology in the country park, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, which has provided a unique opportunity for many local schools and the community to experience archaeology first hand," added KCC Community Archaeologist, Andrew Mayfield.

POPSFormer Canned Heat frontman Robert Lucas, R.I.P. Lucas hooked up with boogie-rock kings Canned Heat in 1994 as singer, guitarist and harp player, and would first appear on the band's 1996 Blues Band album, the last featuring founding member and guitarist Henry Vestine. Between 1994 and 2008, Lucas served two stints as the band's frontman, touring the world in front of the band and contributing songs, instrumentation and vocals to recordings like 1999's Boogie 2000 and the band's 2007 Christmas album. Taylor said of Lucas that "his unequaled fury and stage presence, together with his earth-shattering vocal delivery, gave him the ability to channel many of the blues masters through his words, songs and musical ability. Continuing, Taylor says, "He has been recognized by blues fans and critics worldwide as one of the most inspired singer, player and songwriter talents of the past decade.

POPSWho Should Rock Obama? Inauguration 09 (!)
Yesterday houses of prayer and worship throughout the nation (and others) rang bells, lit candles, lit incense, offered prayers, blessings, good will to the new President-elect. The previous week were tributes from world leaders, USA politicians,, rock stars and Hollywood celebrities, sports stars, TV announcers and pundits, Radio DJ's, activist groups and people everywhere on the street or from their offices. TV news, in a desperate bid to keep viewers now that the elections are over, tried to pretend which bred of dog(s) Obama should get for his kids was a topic of national interest. But - BOOM! - What the people were really interested in and what they wanted exploded onto the scene (just like who they wanted elected, ! exploded, despite stupid or negative meda) -- The Inauguration. Inauguration tickets. Inauguration hotel and dinner reservations. Some memorabilia and... MUSIC! Cast your vote on this web page's unofficial contest. (Note: 'Movin' On Up' is a joke

POPSWhat is the black hole? The black hole is Price's mind. It's the only thing that is small and dense. The use of the term is entirely appropriate as used by Mayfield. Price needs to get over his hypersensitivity. Mr. Mayfield, you are not being "misunderstood". Mr. Price and the unnamed black official are race baiting.

POPSI will fight back! The Brando Mayfield's story From the article: "Almost the only vaguely exotic thing about Brandon Mayfield is his religion: He is a Muslim convert and belongs to a local mosque. But like Alexis de Tocqueville, the 19th-century French writer whom he likes to quote and who helped define the American spirit, Mayfield worries that in a democratic system, the tendency of government will be to augment its power at the expense of minorities. “I’m suspicious of government anyway,” he said in an interview last week. And it's not hard to conclude that Mayfield's one deviation from the norm, the thing that makes him a minority, explains why, for a few weeks in 2004, he was one of the most famous people in the world." This is what happens when in the name of security, the goverment is given free reign.
