POPSThe Neuroscience of Sin! Why do we do it? Reading this article made me think of the proverbial "chicken and the egg." The article suggests that we sin because our brains are evolutionarily designed to do so. This leaves us to conclude that you cannot manage sin as it is hardwired in. I don't agree with that. I think sin is the chicken! The article does a great job of illustrating how various emotions and motives play out in the brain not the other way around. The good news is the very last paragraph. Read it for yourself...enjoy!

POPSSome coma patients able to learn basic responses The fascinating (but preliminary) findings, presented in Nature Neuroscience, may eventually help doctors evaluate coma patients’ potential for recovery. The authors found a strong correlation between cognitively damaged patients who seemed to exhibit such learning and those who showed some level of improvement months after their injury, as measured by a standard coma recovery scale

POPSBourbon bacon apple tarts Tarts: Unfold the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll the sheet out slightly. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out 24 rounds. Place the rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with a baking rack to help keep the rounds uniform and even as they bake. Bake in the preheated oven until the rounds are golden brown, about 12 minutes. When done remove them from the oven and set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, add the diced apples and toss with the lemon juice. Add the cinnamon, maple syrup, 1/4 cup bourbon, butter, and brown sugar to the apples, and stir to combine. In a large skillet, heat the apple mixture over medium-low heat. Cook until the apples are tender and the liquid has thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside to cool. Mix the 2 slices cooked and crumbled bacon into the apple filling.

POPSA phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades.
It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades. Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles. These bubbles stick to each other as they are carried below the surface by the current towards the shore. As a wave starts to form on the surface, the motion of the water causes the bubbles to swirl upwards and, massed together, they become foam.The foam ’surfs’ towards shore until the wave ‘crashes’, tossing the foam into the air.‘It’s the same effect you get when you whip up a milk shake in a blender,’ explains a marine expert. ‘The more powerful the swirl, the more foam you create on the surface and the lighter it becomes.’ In this case, storms off the New South Wales Coast and further north off Queensland had created a huge distur

POPSTaking High Anxiety To Another Level ] loves to "hike". So off we go a few weekends ago on what I would fondly call a "forest march". No matter, I got to hold her hand (even if I did keep looking over my shoulder the entire time) Anyways, we get to this damn mountain top like an hour later and the view is magnificent and I'm kicking my arse for forgetting my digital camera when she decides to look over the edge. I completely freaked out because: 1. She cannot walk through her living room without tripping on something. 2. I felt dizzy 20 feet away safely hanging onto a electric tower. Turns out there is a simple explanation for this! “As you age, your reaction time slows, you lose confidence in your body’s ability to handle physical demands, your sense of balance maybe is a little off,” said Harold Steinitz, a director of the Anxiety and Stress Disorders Institute of Maryland. “You become aware of that, and it affects you.” BUT, It seems after a while, you forget to be anxious.

POPSEx-FBI Agent: Why I Support a New 9/11 Investigation But false agendas had already filled the vacuum created by lack of truth. And we are still dealing with the disastrous consequences of these unjustified, pre-emptive wars. Let me therefore simply repeat the request I made to the Senate Judiciary Committee in June 2002: “Foremost, we owe it to the public, especially the victims of terrorism, to be completely honest. I can only imagine what these crime and terrorism victims continue to go through. They deserve nothing but the complete, unfettered truth.”
