POPSDoes Your Cat Eat Strange Things? Genetic predisposition ---- wool sucking, is seen more frequently in Siamese and Birman cats. Environmental factors. Is the cat bored or seeking attention? Compulsive disorder. Once other possibilities are ruled out, some pet behavioralists start to look into the possibility of compulsive disorder. munching on live power cords can be hazardous to a cat’s health–but the other danger is that ingested materials can get stuck in your cat’s stomach or intestine, which can obstruct the passage of food and may cut off the blood supply to organs–either scenario can be fatal As well, many houseplants are toxic to cats; chewing or eating these plants can have mild symptoms as well as fatality. If your cat has a history of ingesting non-food items and becomes lethargic, vomits, or displays other concerning behavior, take them to your veterinarian immediately See the ASPCA’s full list of plants toxic to cats More at the site

POPSHow Chuck Darwin made it from reception to the corner office Thought this was a very colorful piece and worth the quick read at the source. It was written by a long time publishing exec who provides a personal view into the evolution of an industry caught smack in the middle of a technology and media revolution. Having read a number of insightful posts recently (here on Amplify) regarding magazine industry's struggle to bridge traditional and new media, this particular story resonated with me. I wonder if any old school mag publishing execs are still the decision makers. If so, do they realize Mr. Darwin is still sitting in their corner office...

POPSBar review: 15 Romolo, San Francisco More: The vibe: Understated yet masculine, with reclaimed Douglas fir tables and muted hues of gray and brown. A corner jukebox stocks everything from Johnny Cash to M.I.A. The crowd: A flawless blend of sweet (wayward innocents from the Broadway strip) and tart (the almighty league of cocktail nerds). Best seat: Though Baird and Smith apparently wanted the space to have "egalitarian seating," where there's no best seat, the tables next to the windows that overlook Romolo alley are the best in the house, especially on warm nights, when you can gaze out at the North Beach street scene. Killer app: The 15 Romolo folks have dubbed their food seasonal carnival fare, with such tidbits as smoked pork sliders ($6) with cabbage slaw, jambalaya croquettes ($4) and funnel cakes ($5) sprinkled with powdered sugar. The crispy dogs ($6) feature Fatted Calf franks wrapped in corn tortillas and fried.

POPSObama's Gift to the Queen Mr. Obama rather unceremoniously handed the Queen a shopping bag from the Duty Free shop at Heathrow airport. It contained a signed paperback copy of Dreams of My Father, purchased at the WH Smith shop at the airport, a bottle of Johnny Walker Scotch (black label), a CD of the Swedish band ABBA's greatest hits (still in shrink wrap with a 2-for-1 sticker on it) and ten bags of M&Ms with the presidential seal on them. The Queen responded in a rather flat: "How delightful."
